“Cooperative” was the word chosen to describe Riverwest in the recent Around the Corner episode on Milwaukee Public Television. What is a cooperative? Since 2012 was dubbed the United Nations International Year of the Cooperative, this might be a good time to answer that question.

When you become an “elder” in your community, you begin to look around for those members of the next generation who share your values and who can take over some of the community efforts. Riverwest is lucky to be rich with enthusiastic young people who are socially progressive, understand the importance of community service, and bring talent and energy to Milwaukee.

Milwaukee’s oldest retailer knows a little bit about providing quality and great customer service. For 165 years, Laacke and Joys has been Milwaukee’s main store for outdoor sporting goods and gear, and despite the economic downturn, business is still going strong. The store has four locations: downtown Milwaukee, Brookfield, and Mequon, along with an equestrian sports shop called Hall Saddlery in Sussex. It also has a manufacturing division on the two top floors of the downtown location, which produces fabric products such as parking meter hoods, bags, and curtains.
