Southern Door County resort and marina sold to new owner who plans upgrades
Wave Pointe Marina & Resort was sold for $2.15 million to a company listed as 3600 County Hwy CC Sturgeon Bay, LLC, according to the real estate transaction record on the Wisconsin Department of Revenue website.
A news release from Marcus & Millichap, the commercial real estate brokerage firm that handled the sale, said the new owner, whose address is in Oshkosh, plans to be more actively involved in the resort than its previous owner, Ohio-based The Cadle Company II, Inc., with updates and changes in the works for the 25-year-old property on the shore of Little Sturgeon Bay on the west side of the Door Peninsula. Wave Pointe's new manager is Nancy Bartz, an experienced manager of other Door County resorts, who also said in a video interview on the Let's Go Door County Facebook page that improvements are on the way.
'This was a rare chance to acquire a high-quality waterfront asset from an institutional absentee owner in the highly desirable Door County market,' Jon Ruzicka, managing director investments for Marcus & Millichap, said in the news release. 'Properties of this caliber seldom come to market, making it a particularly notable acquisition. With more engaged ownership now in place, the property is poised for thoughtful updates that will enhance the guest experience and optimize operations.'
Perhaps the most immediate and obvious change is in the resort's restaurant. The former Gilmo's Bar & Bistro is now Harbor House Waterfront Bar & Grill, and Wave Pointe's Facebook page says a new menu is on the horizon.
Located at 3600 County CC, Sturgeon Bay (town of Gardner), Wave Pointe features 24 one- and two-bedroom suites with full kitchens, fireplaces, whirlpool tubs and private balconies, along with a 124-slip marina. Resort amenities include a heated outdoor pool, renovated indoor hot tub and sauna, boater's lounge, onsite restaurant and bar, and retail shop.

Philz Coffee will join the company with holdings in Popeyes and Cinnabon. Gado via Getty Images Another San Francisco-born-and-raised coffee company has taken a big buyout. Philz Coffee will sell to Los Angeles-based private equity firm Freeman Spogli & Co. for $145 million. More troubling, employees holding common stock in the business will see their shares cancelled under the agreement. Mission Local reported the news after acquiring documents pertaining to the deal. The deal is expected to be confirmed on Friday, August 8. Ferry Building hero closes after 21 years An original Ferry Building restaurant closed on Thursday, July 31. Boulettes Larder was a proper flagship in the marketplace. Chef Amaryll Schwertner and partner and Lori Regis ran the restaurant and its adjoining, more casual Bouli Bar. The San Francisco Standard reported the news with no reason given for shuttering. Boulettes Larder opened in 2004 when the remodeled Ferry Building opened to the public. Schwertner's menu was beloved for its commitment to old-school farm-to-table cooking. Divisadero sports bar shutters Majorly popular corner bar the San Francisco Athletic Club closed on Sunday, August 3. There was no closure reason given for the 11-year-old bar, but in a farewell Instagram post ownership said it's been a hard road since the pandemic. The bar was one of Lower Pac Heights's mainstay beer hangs. A new operator has already secured the lease and plans to keep the location as a sports bar.

Italy fines Chinese retailer Shein $1M for 'deceptive' practices
Italy on Monday fined Shein more than $1 million for deceptive practices. File Photo by David Silpa/UPI | License Photo Aug. 4 (UPI) -- Italian authorities on Monday announced Chinese global retailer Shein was fined over $1 million for allegedly "misleading" customers with "deceptive" advertising. The The Italian Competition Authority issued the fine of more than $1.1 million, to Infinite Styles Services Co. Limited, which is Shein's Dublin-based European manager. Italian officials accused the company of "misleading and/or deceptive environmental messages and claims." Shein claimed a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by some 25% by 2030, with a 2050 goal to reach net zero. The AGCM saidShein's proposal was "vague" and "generic." It further stated it was "even contradicted by an actual increase in Shein's greenhouse gas emissions in 2023 and 2024." The fashion online retailer sees an average of over 45 million monthly users just in Europe, according to EU officials. Last year in April, the Chinese-owned fashion app was forced to follow new but stricter rules under the European Commission's Digital Services Act after officials determined Shein was large enough to fall under the legislation. Italy is now the second European country in a little over a month to fine the company after France in July issued a $46 million penalty after its 11-month investigation. "Through its website and other promotional and/or informational online pages," Italy's AGCM said Monday, "the company disseminated environmental claims within the sections #SHEINTHEKNOW, evoluSHEIN, and Social Responsibility that were, in some instances, vague, generic." It added it was "and/or overly emphatic, and in others, misleading or omissive." The China-based company similar to Temu does not publicly disclose its earnings. However, a source told Bloomberg that in its first quarter that Shein's net income went up to over $400 million while revenue was at around $10 billion. It's said the higher profit margin was related to customers using to get ahead of new U.S. tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.
