In the past, Wantable Inc. created an office culture around perks like free lunch, coffee and tea.
But in the last year, with many employees working from home, those in-person perks didn t matter. Instead, the company needed to focus on adapting its culture into the socially distant reality of living through the COVID-19 pandemic.
The company is recognizing benefits from virtual meetings and other new practices.
Wantable, which operates an online personal styling service and try-before-you-buy retailer made the Southeastern Wisconsin Top Workplaces list for the first time this year.
The privately held company was founded by Jalem Getz in 2011 and has grown to around 240 employees. The majority of those employees were hired in the last year.
An older industrial building in Milwaukee s Harbor District and Walker s Point areas has been sold to a developer who s considering its conversion to office space and other new uses.
The three-story, 21,000-square-foot building, at 212 E. Mineral St., was sold for $660,000 to Denmark HD LLC, led by Mark Lathers, according to a new deed filing. It was sold by Chicago-based AM Finance LLC.
Lathers said Wednesday that he initially agreed to buy the empty building in May 2019.
Some legal complications, and then the COVID-19 pandemic, delayed the closing until this week.
The initial plans called for offices, along with a local microbrewery, Lathers told the Journal Sentinel.
