MOD GEN - A MODERN GENERAL STORE
211 North Broadway, Milwaukee, WI 53202 Directions
Since 2001
Here’s The Deal:
"MOD GEN is a modern take on the classic general stores once seen in their communities. Gardening and garden design was the passion that first launched them in 2001, but they quickly learned that their love of great design and a thirst for a creative living had fueled an evolution into something more than a garden store. They decided a contemporary twist to the classic general store seemed a perfect way, to sum up, the wide variety of products they now carry. Their mission is to provide great products and creative ideas to inspire your own signature style. They are constantly looking for locally produced items to balance their internationally produced goods. Their customers support not only the store, but a staff of four full-time employees (two of which are also artists) and various community programs.
