The Balistreri family officially opens its seventh Sendik's Food Market at 7901 W. Layton Ave. on Thursday, May 15 at 10 a.m.
The new 60,000-sq. ft. Sendik's anchors the newly-renamed 90,000-sq. ft. Sendik's Commons shopping center, which includes Massage Envy spa; Cricket Communications, a wireless carrier; and Toppers Pizza, which serves build-your-own pizzas, quesadillas and buffalo wings.
Greenfield Mayor Mike Neitzke says, "I think the new Sendik's will be the cornerstone of a renaissance along Layton Avenue and 76th Street. We're elated."
OnMilwaukee.com staff writer Julie Lawrence grew up in Wauwatosa and has lived her whole life in the Milwaukee area.
As any “word nerd” can attest, you never know when inspiration will strike, so from a very early age Julie has rarely been seen sans pen and little notebook. At the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee it seemed only natural that she major in journalism. When OnMilwaukee.com offered her an avenue to combine her writing and the city she knows and loves in late 2004, she knew it was meant to be. Around the office, she answers to a plethora of nicknames, including “Lar,” (short for “Larry,” which is short for “Lawrence”) as well as the mysteriously-sourced “Bill Murray.”
