A new year means new opportunities for husband and wife Shallece Peters and Dheren Stewart.
The two recently announced on social media that they will reopen St. Francis Brewery at the corner of Kinnickinnic and Howard Avenues in St. Francis.
The new owners told TMJ4 reporter Brendyn Jones they were not expecting the hundreds of likes and comments from total strangers.
“I didn’t think it’d have the following it has,” Peters said. “So, it’s really exciting that the community is just as excited about it as we are.”
The brewery was last open in 2019. The couple had been looking for a restaurant to open for years and now hope to become an important part of the St. Francis community.
“Restaurants are the cornerstones of communities; they are the meeting places of communities,” Stewart said. “I think this area, in particular, has been wanting and needing a space where people can get together and enjoy some food, music, and drinks.”
Brendyn Jones/TMJ4 Shallece and Dheren want to put their own spin on the restaurant with new decorations, food and drinks, live music, and more.
