Jamie Wilke Interiors, the upscale interior design and furnishings shop with a signature location at 803 Geneseee St. in Delafield, notes on its Web site that it is giving its Oconomowoc store "a complete remodel" but to not "worry" because "after the dust settles, we'll be back in spring 2009."
We've learned, though, that Jamie Wilke will open a location in the Third Ward.
Watch for a new Jamie Wilke Interiors at 311 E. Chicago St. The retailer has leased space on the first floor and also plans on using the old Third Ward Firehouse.
Build out is currently under way. No word of an opening date. Stay tuned.
