Milwaukee Cermak reopens, sanitation grade pending after closure
Cermak Fresh Market in Walkers Point
MILWAUKEE – A Cermak Fresh Market in Milwaukee, shut down earlier this week due to “imminent” health hazards, apparently reopened Friday with a health department sanitation grade pending.
FOX6 News was at the Walker’s Point grocery store Thursday night and saw through the window that employees inside were cleaning shelves. Earlier in the day, a pest control service vehicle was parked outside the store.
A new notice on the door to the store, alerting shoppers of the pending sanitation grade, was dated Friday, Feb. 9.

MHD said it conducted its annual routine inspection of the store – located near 1st and Greenfield – on Tuesday, Feb. 6. That inspection identified violations that included “rodent droppings, products damaged and consumed by pests, and live roaches” within the store.
Health inspectors revisited the store on Feb. 7 and noted “ongoing evidence of pest-related issues.” MHD said it is working with Cermak management to address the concerns.
MHD statement (Feb. 8):
Ultimately, our goal as a health department is to focus on the health and safety of the public. That being said, our health inspectors are dedicated to working with establishments by educating them on violations and working with them to ensure issues are addressed and rectified in an immediate, and preventative fashion. Our goal is to always work with a business so it can continue to serve as a safe, healthy resource for the public.

'This is my pub': Packers Fans fill Moran’s in South Milwaukee for Thanksgiving watch party
SOUTH MILWAUKEE — It was all about the Packers Thursday night at Moran’s Pub on Thanksgiving. Dozens of fans spent the end of the holiday cheering on Green Bay as they took on the Miami Dolphins.
Moran’s invited TMJ4 to check out their special watch party and soak in the atmosphere.
Deanna Olson, a devoted fan, referred to the pub as her home. “This is my pub,” she said. “This is my hometown, South Milwaukee, born and raised. I live here, I love it, and I always cheer on my Packers. I’ve got to bring Grandpa’s flag, and here we are.”

That flag has become a lucky fashion statement of sorts for Olson.
“We went ahead and put this on as an ascot, and then we beat the Bears, so the ascot has to come back,” she said.

Olson wasn’t the only fan relying on a good luck charm Thursday night.
“I always have my Packer purse. Always during Packer season, I’ve got to make sure that I carry this,” said Katie “Grammy” Hilpert.

Hilpert was joined by her daughter and granddaughter. Together, they bleed Green and Gold. Moran’s is her go-to pub, making the game even more enjoyable.
“Oh, they’re my boys. I’m very thankful because they have had a little better of a season, but we’ll take what we can get,” said Hilpert.
During the game, fans had the chance to play games and participate in raffles.
Both Hilpert’s and Olson’s lucky charms paid off as the Packers secured the win.
While Hilpert was grateful to cheer on her beloved Packers this holiday, simply coming together at the pub was already a guaranteed victory.
“What are you thankful for?” asked TMJ4’s Mike Beiermeister.
“Grandchildren, children. Life in general is really good, really good right now,” Hilpert replied, embodying the spirit of gratitude on this Thanksgiving Day.
