Two ramen restaurants, a cross-stitch business and more

Welcome to the Streetwise newsletter, where the news comes and finds you!

I'll start this week with a story about Koi Poke Ramen and Koi Ramen. A little over a month ago I received several emails asking about Koi Ramen, 1593 W. Mason St. and I wrote a story about the restaurant with the information I could gather. Last week, I was able to meet the owners and put together a more comprehensive story about both places.

I also wrote about a former chef turning her hobby into a business: Hometown Needleworks is a cross-stitch store that opened in Ashwaubenon.

For coffee lovers I have news: Biggby Coffee opened at East Town and is now offering coffees and smoothies as well as bagel sandwiches.

Also, Bay Park Square mall announced the addition of Rally House, a specialty sports store that will open in late summer next to Kohl’s.

Finally, if you are a soccer fan, Green Bay's first soccer pub is slated to open in August, hopefully in time for the new European soccer season.

That's all I have for now! Remember to visit the business section for more news!
