Hello,
Hello August and the Dog Days of Summer!
Speaking of dogs, please see below for the info on the 10th Annual Menomonee Falls Pet Fair. The Concerts in the Park Series has three more performances to enjoy on Thursday evenings - and starting August 6th, our Sunday Farmers Market begins. Same hours as the Wednesday Market 9 - 2.
The beautiful weather certainly has helped our constructin crew on Main St. Remember that all Main St. businesses are open during this construction/enhancement project. Please visit them during this transformation.
So, enjoy the rest of summer and remember - always "Think Local" when you need services, gifts, a quick lunch or a fabulous dinner, or just want to pamper yourself. See you around town!

Hmmmm- good question – well I guess maybe because it’s my coaching background that helps us be so successful. And that we personally pride ourselves in exceptional responsiveness and providing outstanding remodeling services from start to finish. Did I tell you we are a 2017 NARI National Award winning remodeler and the only one in the area.

Personally I am starting my 34 year and Connor Remodeling & Design, Inc. is now going into it’s 11th year- and 8th here in the beautiful and historic Men Falls Main street area
Why did you choose Menomonee Falls Downtown for your business location?
We love the area and the opportunity for success is right here where we want to be. When we found our current location we couldn’t have been happier. An old historic building on Main Street – who could ask for more- stop in and see how we saved an old tired out place and brought it back to life.
