A new Alterra is going to be opening in Wauwatosa where Lockers used to be on 92nd and North Ave:

The Wauwatosa Community Development Committee this week recommended approval of a conditional-use permit to operate an Alterra Café in the new Locker's Pointe condominium/retail building at Swan Boulevard and North Avenue.

Alterra wants the 1,675-square-foot café to be open from 6 a.m. to midnight daily with outdoor dining on the north and west sides of the building. The committee, however, recommended, 7 to 1, that the interior of the café only be open until 11 p.m. and outdoor dining hours not exceed 9 p.m., contingent upon approval of the patio layout by city staff.

Other items of concern to the committee that will be taken up before final vote on the conditional use permit are the patterns and color choices of the outdoor patio table cloths, and the style of cement to be used for the patio.  One alderman suggested that failure to stock enough Cowboy Cookies in the cafe could jeopardize their permit too.  "We just want to help them run their business as best as possible," the alderman said.  "That's our job.  To help businesses grow.  Hopefully they'll allow us full access to all the financial planning documents when their permit comes up for renewal, so that we can assist in choosing all their bakery products to fit the needs of the community."
