“We should be open within a couple of months,” said owner
Pan Hompluem. “From a construction standpoint, we’re ready to go.”
The downtown Milwaukee restaurant will be Lowcountry’s third location, joining its two locations in Chicago. Hompluem, who’s worked in the restaurant industry for two decades, launched the concept in 2015 in the Lakeview neighborhood and later expanded to the South Loop
Hompluem cited a couple reasons for his move into the Milwaukee market. He’s a big fan of the city – he and his wife
Dana have enjoyed taking weekend trips to hang out or to visit friends and family living in the area. And in recent years, Hompluem noticed that Lowcountry was attracting a lot of Milwaukee-area diners who would make the drive just to eat at his restaurant.
