Bebe Zito is bringing its burgers and ice cream across the border.
The Minnesota-born restaurant will open its fourth location at the 3rd Street Market Hall in Milwaukee. The exact opening date has not yet been announced, but representatives say it will be later this summer.
Bebe Zito first opened about five years ago, but co-owner Gabriella Grant-Spangler, who attended the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, says that Milwaukee has long been on the shortlist for a potential expansion.
While its three Minnesota locations specialize in burgers and ice cream, the new Milwaukee location will also offer coffee and baked goods.
'I've loved seeing Bebe Zito evolve over the years. The addition of a coffee and bakery element really excites me,' said co-founder and pastry chef Ben Spangler. "I've been a pastry chef for over half my life now, and I'm excited to incorporate some decadent baked goods to Bebe Zito!"
The restaurant recently left the Eat Street Crossing food hall, but still has locations in Uptown Minneapolis, the Malcolm Yard Food Hall, and Woodbury Lakes.This story was originally reported by Bring Me The News on Jun 3, 2025, where it first appeared.

'Very disappointed' Trump in stunning live break-up with Musk
Tensions between Donald Trump and Elon Musk exploded into public view Thursday, as the US president said he was "very disappointed" by his billionaire former aide's criticisms and Musk hit back in real time on social media. "Look, Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office after Musk slammed his tax and spending mega-bill as an "abomination". The world's richest man responded by live-tweeting on his X social media platform as Trump spoke on television, saying that the Republican would not have won the 2024 election without him and slamming him for "ingratitude." In an extraordinary rant as visiting German Chancellor Friedrich Merz sat mutely beside him, 78-year-old Trump unloaded on SpaceX and Tesla boss Musk in his first comments on the issue. "I'm very disappointed, because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody sitting here... All of a sudden, he had a problem," Trump said when asked about Musk. The clash comes less than a week since Trump held a grand Oval Office farewell for Musk as he wrapped up his time leading the cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). South African-born Musk, 53, hit back minutes later, saying Trump's claims he had advance sight of the bill were "false." "Whatever," he added above a video of Trump saying Musk was upset about the loss of subsidies for electric vehicles. Musk then ratcheted up the public spat even further, saying the Republican would have lost the election without his support. He was the biggest donor to Trump's campaign, to the tune of nearly $300 million. "Without me, Trump would have lost the election," Musk said on X. "Such ingratitude." Tesla shares fell sharply on Wall Street, down eight percent, after his comments, in a sign of the huge stakes for a falling out between the world's richest man and its most powerful. - 'A little make-up?' - A wistful-sounding Trump took reporters through the break-up with Musk on live television, in what at times sounded more like a therapy session than a meeting with a foreign leader. Trump talked about Musk's farewell appearance in the Oval Office on Friday, when he turned up with a black eye that he said was caused by a punch from his son. Musk at the time was also facing reports of drug use on the Trump campaign trail. "You saw a man who was very happy when he stood behind the Oval desk, and even with the black eye. I said, you want a little makeup? We'll get you a little makeup," Trump said. "But he said, 'No, I don't think so,' which is interesting and very nice. He wants to be who he is." Trump said he could understand why Musk was upset with some steps he had taken, including withdrawing a nominee to lead the NASA space agency whom the tech tycoon had backed. Through it all, the visiting German chancellor sat silently. Merz had prepared to avoid a repeat of the ambushes that Trump unleashed on the Ukrainian and South African presidents in the Oval Office -- but in the end it was Musk that the US president ambushed. At the center of the bitter row is Trump's "big, beautiful bill" on tax and spending. The centerpiece of his domestic agenda, it aims to continue tax cuts from his first term -- and could define his second term and make or break Republican prospects in the 2026 midterm elections. Musk however called it a "disgusting abomination" on Tuesday, on the grounds that it will increase the US deficit. A day later, the magnate called for Republicans to "kill the bill," and for an alternative plan that "doesn't massively grow the deficit." dk-aue/md

World Environment Day 2025: Real Solutions To Beat Plastic Pollution
Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota, Pine Bend sanitary landfill, the largest open landfill in Minnesota. ... More (Photo by: Michael Siluk/UCG/Universal Images Group via Getty Images) June 5th marks World Environment Day, and this year's theme, 'Beat Plastic Pollution,' is pertinent as global plastic production has ballooned from 2 million tons in 1950 to a staggering 430 million ton annually today, according to the United Nations Environment Program. The World Economic Forum further shares stark data that 350 million tons of plastic waste is generated each year and of that 19 million leaks in the environment with 13 million onto land and 6 million into rivers and coastlines. The In 2022 the OECD warned that if current trends continue, plastic waste could nearly triple by 2060, with half ending up in landfills and less than a fifth recycled.

More "Feature: Rwanda makes strides in plastic ban" (Photo by Cyril Ndegeya/Xinhua via Getty Images) At the recycling center, plastic bottles are collected and packed for recycling Tackling plastic pollution requires systemic change that addresses the full lifecycle of plastic products. The journey to 'beat plastic pollution' has to start with strong policy frameworks such as Extended Producer Responsibility laws which are critical to shifting accountability onto companies and ensuring that environmental impacts are managed from production through to disposal. However, legislation alone is not enough. Consumer awareness must move beyond marketing claims like 'recyclable,' especially as most plastics are not truly recycled and end up in landfills and oceans. Consumers must focus on reducing unnecessary plastics through reuse and refill systems, supporting companies committed to genuine sustainability, and demanding greater transparency and accountability. These are powerful actions that individuals can take to drive the market transformation needed to create a future where plastic pollution is no longer inevitable but preventable. Ultimately, collective action from policymakers, businesses, and consumers is essential. On this World Environment Day, the call is clear: it is time to move beyond promises and take decisive action for a cleaner, more sustainable planet.

USA Gymnastics President Li Li Leung To Step Down After Guiding Post-Nassar Reform
MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA - JUNE 30: President and CEO of USA Gymnastics Li Li Leung (C-R) poses with ... More (L-R) Hezly Rivera, Joscelyn Roberson, Suni Lee, Simone Biles, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles and Leanne Wong after they were selected for the 2024 U.S. Olympic Women's Gymnastics Team on Day Four of the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Gymnastics Trials at Target Center on June 30, 2024 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (Photo by) USA Gymnastics announced Thursday that President and CEO Li Li Leung will step down at the end of the year. This will mark the end of her nearly six-year tenure at the helm, during which Leung guided the organization after the Larry Nassar scandal. Hired in March 2019, the organization credits Leung's leadership for catalyzing a 'historic turnaround" and 'cultural transformation' within the sport. Leung helped the organization rebound from the blows dealt by the Nassar sexual abuse scandal, helping place athlete wellbeing and safety at the forefront. In December 2020, USA Gymnastics established its Athlete Bill of Rights, considered one of the 'first of its kind in sport,' demonstrating a commitment to 'a culture of athlete support and safety driving organizational decision-making." Leung's organization also introduced mental health visits to the National Team program Under the addition, USA Gymnastics now covers costs for regular visits to mental health providers for National Team athletes and coaches. Leung issued the following statement: 'The opportunity to lead USA Gymnastics has been the honor and privilege of a lifetime. Thanks to the dedication of the entire gymnastics community, we are now in an incredible position as we turn our attention to the L.A. Olympic Games. The last several months have been a time of great reflection, and I know that now is the right time to pass the torch to the next leader, with the sport and organization thriving. I wanted to ensure the board has the opportunity to conduct a thorough search and also give my successor a long runway into the 2028 Olympic Games. I'm going to take some time to reset before determining what is next, and I look forward to USA Gymnastics accomplishing great things in 2025 and beyond.' During her tenure, USA Gymnastics surged to success on the medal podium, most notably with 11 medals at the 2024 Olympic Games. In addition to her role with USA Gymnastics, Leung was the recipient of multiple honors in sport. In 2020, Leung was voted vice chair of the NGB Council of the U.S. Olympic sport governing bodies, and was elected to the Executive Committee of the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) in 2021. Leung was named a Sports Business Journal 'Power Player' in 2020 and an SBJ Gamechanger in 2024. In 2023, she was recognized on the 2023 A100 list as one of the country's most impactful Asian Americans. She would later be named a 2025 WISE Woman of the Year. Chair of the USAG board of directors, Kathryn Carson, attested to the impact of Leung's leadership. 'Li Li was the right leader at the right time for USA Gymnastics and accomplished in six years what many thought was not possible," Carson said. 'Her deep passion for gymnastics and extraordinary dedication to leading transformation has positioned USA Gymnastics to move boldly toward LA28. With this strong foundation, we are confident we will identify a leader to build on Li Li's legacy.' With a home Olympic Games on the horizon in 2028, USA Gymnastics now commits to securing a replacement in the organization's pivotal quadrennium. The organization 'has engaged CAA Executive Search to lead the search for Leung's successor,' and intends to identify a new president and CEO prior to Leung's departure at 2025's close.
