Hey everyone! Nikki here. I have some exciting news to share: I am getting married this summer! My fiancé and I are thrilled and wedding planning is in full swing. 😉

Those that know me personally know that I moved to the Milwaukee area a few months ago to be closer to my fiancé. We talked extensively about where to live - Marquette or Milwaukee - and ultimately decided that Milwaukee made the most sense for our future together. Anne and I decided at that time to keep both Nikki's and Outlanders running as usual while she and I discussed what we wanted the future to look like.

At long last, we have made our decision: Nikki's and Outlanders will be permanently closing.

Our last day is today, Thursday, March 24th.

We are going to miss all of our customers, and want to thank Marquette for all of your support these nearly 10 years.

What are we looking forward to?

Anne is excited to be able to spend more time with her grandkids, and enjoy more time with her husband, Greg, who has been an outstanding behind the scenes partner and our biggest supporter these past 10 years. Seriously, we could not have done this without him.

As for myself, I am looking forward to starting a life with my wonderful soon-to-be husband. I am loving my opportunity to explore Wisconsin and we plan to make many trips to the UP. We're planning a trip to Grand Island this summer and I can't wait! I couldn't stay away from the food industry and have found myself a job doing what I love right here in Milwaukee.

Even though the ending of this chapter in our lives is bittersweet, we are eagerly beginning the next. We hope that you have enjoyed Nikki's and Outlanders as much as we have! We hope to see you today, March 24th, our last day open.

We feel blessed to have had the opportunity to be a part of the Marquette community in such a special way.

Love, Nikki and Anne
