Nine years ago, Sarah and River Ditzenberger opened a delightfully quirky and old-timey variety store called Fischberger’s at 2445 N. Holton St. in the Riverwest-Harambee neighborhood.
Now, the couple has partnered up with Kara Wendel and the two plan to open a second Fischberger’s on 55th and Vliet Streets.
"The speed with which this happened has taken us both by surprise. The space we found is perfect and will be ready for us to move in beginning in May. The challenge with this happening so quickly is funding," says Wendel.
Hence, the hopeful new owners started a Kickstarter campaign and will use the donations to build shelves, purchase inventory, make signs and more.
"We can not wait to share in this adventure and expansion with the community. We appreciate your help and support as we enter into this partnership to create another wonderful location of Fischberger's Variety," says Wendel.
