celebrating five years at 5824 Sixth Avenue

house of nutrition by Mark Wistar
Check out their new look!
The House of Nutrition started in 1947 in Chicago as old counter
Kramer’s Health Foods. Two family members then opened a
store in the uptown area of Kenosha as The House of Nutrition Alex (Backyard Dream Studio) hard at
in the 1960’s. The store moved to Downtown Kenosha around workon the new counter.
2007 and I purchased the business in Oct. of 2014. Since I
purchased the store we have increased our inventory to
include high-end supplements, a large inventory of CBD and
many other products. The House of Nutrition acknowledges
that the Downtown area is becoming more upscale and attract-
ing tourists from all over the world. Due to these changing
demographics we decided that we wanted to improve the look
of the store. In honor of our five year anniversary we decided
to update the store to meet the demands of our well educated
customer base. We talked to several contractors about the
new counter but their ideas did not stand out. Our neighbor
Alex Kudrna from Backyard Dream Studios happened to come
in to talk and he told me about his experience in construction,
along with building and designing sets for Kenosha Unified. I
asked him if he would be interested in remodeling our store
and he said he would get back to me with a design plan. We
thought his vision for the store was incredible so we told him
he had the job. We could not be happier with the results. I
encourage everyone to come in and see the beautiful wall and
counter Alex made and step into The House of Nutrition to see
the art and design of an original health food store with deep
roots in Kenosha.

What is your advice for an up and coming home brewer?

For starters, make great beer. That’s essential. But don’t go for world

domination. Find your space and stand out in it.

What’s your secret behind your great food menu? It was a

collaboration from a lot of peo-

ple over the years. A lot of our

menu items are infused with our

beer. The brisket, the chicken,

the pork. But we also keep in

mind that people like different

What makes Rustic Road stand out from the other brew-

eries in the area? I want to say our beer - our beer is exceptional

- but I don’t like to say our beer is better than anyone else’s. The thing

that I hear the most from our customers is our staff, the service. We

have a great team of people who care about what they are doing and

want our customers to leave happy.

Why did you pick Downtown Kenosha? We love the commu-

“the loft” us all together as a unit. We work together with other Downtown
