Popular Malt Shoppe Announces Closure

The owners of Ferch’s Malt Shoppe announced they would be closing later this month. The family made the announcement via Facebook.

Ferch’s Malt Shoppe opened in 1987.

"We had a vision of an innovative restaurant that pays homage to the past while building memories for future generations," Betty Ferchoff wrote in the post released Sunday.

Her husband retired last year, and she expected to retire soon after.

The owners explained their lease was coming up, so it was the right time to close the location. The last day the restaurant will be open is Saturday, October 10th, from 11:00 a.m. until 8:30 p.m.

"We have been blessed to meet and work with so many wonderful people throughout the years. Now onto the next chapter of our lives," she wrote.

Ferch’s Beachside in South Milwaukee and Ferch’s Crafthouse Grille in Wauwatosa will still carry on the Ferch’s legacy.
