Patch's Top Business Stories: An Out-of-Town Proposal Tops the List

Every day between now and the end of the year, Menomonee Falls Patch will feature the most popular stories of the year — broken down by topic.

It’s our business to know about business, and when a new business opens in Falls you know Menomonee Falls Patch will cover it.

It’s funny, though. The top business story on Menomonee Falls Patch isn’t even open, and it’s also not going to locate in Falls. However, there were several other business stories that caught readers’ attention in 2012.

5. Toppers Pizza is Coming to Menomonee Falls

4. Planners Set Opening Date For Walmart Neighborhood Market  

For years, Falls residents wanted to see some kind of activity on the Main Street corridor. A Walmart Neighborhood Market was the solution crafted by Gatlin Development Co., and now that project is complete and the Walmart is open.
