Unique Boutiques on Two-Way Streets
The businesses in Downtown Waukesha are independent, eclectic, and unlike anything in the area! Where else in the Midwest can you buy a Whoopee cushion, chocolate truffles, and artisan hot sauce on the same block? It’s safe to say that whatever you need, you’ll find a family-owned business in Downtown Waukesha that’s perfect.
