January 26, 2020 – Meonomonee Falls, WI – If you’re already looking to schedule lunch for Monday, January 27 you may want to consider the new Olive Garden in Menomonee Falls.
It’s not West Bend but it is pretty darn close to Washington County.
It was November 2018 when it was announced a new 7,800 square-foot, Italian restaurant would be constructed along I-41 to the northwest of Froedtert and the Wisconsin Athletic Club.
The Olive Garden Restaurant, N 91 W15848 Falls Parkway, will be at White Stone Station in Menomonee Falls. .
The restaurant will emphasize high-quality, personalized service, and flavorful entrees served in an inviting, comfortable atmosphere.
Developed by Cobalt Partners in public-private partnership with the Village of Menomonee Falls, White Stone Station is a nearly 60-acre redevelopment that included assemblage of over 20 parcels, demolition of approximately 750,000 square feet of blighted industrial buildings, environmental remediation, and mitigation of wetlands.
With total development value in excess of $110 million, White Stone Stations retailers include Costco Wholesale, TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, Ross, Ulta, Five Below, and Kay Jewelers. Restaurants include Grate Mac & Cheese, Café Zupas, and Firehouse Subs. Other components of the development include Home2Suites by Hilton, Wisconsin Athletic Club, Froedtert, and the 318-unit Junction apartments.
Neighbors in West Bend have long desired the Italian chain restaurant however officials with Olive Garden say the population is not large enough for a franchise.
Folks in Germantown were also on tap to get an Olive Garden several years ago. It was planned for County Line Road. However that deal never came to fruition.
