Well, it looks like there's a lot going on at Jake's in Wanamingo! It has gone from a liquor store to a liquor store and bar! The gang has been busy with rearranging the shelves and stock to make room for a cozy space to meet up with friends and share a cocktail or a beer. It's amazing the way it is laid out has expanded the offerings of refreshing beverages and snacks to munch on while catching up on the town talk!
While they're still in the process of getting everything planned put into place, you can still stop over and take it all in. When Amy first told me about the new additions, it was hard to visualize how all of this could fit into the existing space, but they have done it! The bar and liquor store will be open the same hours, Monday through Saturday from 8 am to 10 pm, with the liquor store open on Sunday from 11 am to 6 pm. Once it is permitted, the bar will also be open on Sundays, same hours as the liquor store.
For now, they are continuing to bring in new products, and most everything is still as it was before the addition of the bar. The bar area is where the cash register used to be, with a custom Shou Sugi Ban bar and a few tables scattered throughout the space. Don't know what a Shou Sugi Ban bar is? Come check it out! As the permits come in and the rest of the equipment is installed, there will be pizza and occasionally a visit from a food truck outside the bar as well. The E-tabs and pull tabs should be available by the end of May. So, yeah! snacks, gambling and refreshing beverages are on the way!
And don't forget the other services that have always been available! There is a beer wagon available to rent for your special occasions and events, like parties, tailgating, and all those special events. And if you have special orders, they are always welcome, too!
And, speaking of new things, Jake is excited to announce a new addition.....Anything Goes! What is it? It is not a flea market, it is not a craft fair, and it is not a farmers market....it is all of the above, and then some! So, coming soon, every Wednesday from 2 to 7, you will find vendors setting up tables and selling...Anything! It is free to set up your table and chairs and showcase your wares. Whether it is fresh produce, craft items, old farm equipment you no longer use, items that you have outgrown or tired of, art work, baked goods, fresh eggs, canned goods...in other words.....Anything Goes!
Jake has always been about helping local folks, and this is a great way to meet new friends, make some extra cash, find new treasures and support your neighbors. Just bring your stuff, set it up, and have some fun! As the season progresses, it may even extend to Saturdays! Tell your friends and get to downsizing all those items you no longer use that still have some life left in them. Call Amy for more details or questions. See you there!
