A vacant commercial property in West Milwaukee could become the site of two new-to-market quick-service franchises, Scooter’s Coffee and Taco John’s.
The restaurants are being proposed at the former
Deutsch & Sons Company site, located at 2172 Miller Park Way. Milwaukee-based
Greywolf Partners Inc. submitted plans to redevelop the 1.62-acre parcel, which would be divided evenly between the two users.
The real estate development firm
purchased the property in 2016 from Deutsch & Sons Co. for $1 million, allowing the manufacturer to relocate to Pewaukee.

Scooter’s would operate a kiosk-style location, serving coffee drinks and breakfast foods, such as egg and cheese burritos, sandwiches and bakery items. Its footprint would be small, only about 400 to 500 square feet, and focus primarily on drive-thru service. It would be Scooter’s first cafe in the Milwaukee area and second in Wisconsin, along with a location in Madison. The company has about 300 franchise and company-owned stores across the U.S.
