Great Lakes Futon, 907 S. 1st St., is moving to the former Moxy space at 2219 N. Farwell Ave. on Milwaukee's East Side next month.
Vacant since last June, the space is across the street from the Oriental Theater and next door to Utrecht Art Supply.
Great Lakes Futon has been in business since 1979, and according to its Web site offers "a full line of futon mattresses, futon frames, platform beds and hundreds of fabrics to select the best cover to meet your needs."
A life-long and passionate community leader and Milwaukeean, Jeff Sherman is a co-founder of OnMilwaukee.
He grew up in Wauwatosa and graduated from Marquette University, as a Warrior. He holds an MBA from Cardinal Stritch University, and is the founding president of Young Professionals of Milwaukee (YPM)/Fuel Milwaukee.
Early in his career, Sherman was one of youngest members of the Greater Milwaukee Committee, and currently is involved in numerous civic and community groups - including board positions at The Wisconsin Center District, Wisconsin Club and Marcus Center for the Performing Arts. He's honored to have been named to The Business Journal's "30 under 30" and Milwaukee Magazine's "35 under 35" lists.
He owns a condo in Downtown and lives in greater Milwaukee with his wife Stephanie, his son, Jake, and daughter Pierce. He's a political, music, sports and news junkie and thinks, for what it's worth, that all new movies should be released in theaters, on demand, online and on DVD simultaneously.
He also thinks you should read OnMilwaukee each and every day.
