Colectivo Coffee to close two locations including in Milwaukee's Third Ward

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) – Colectivo Coffee is closing its Third Ward location in Milwaukee due to sales losses during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The shop is located near E. St. Paul Ave. and N. Broadway.

Additionally, Colectivo has two other Milwaukee-area cafes (U.S. Bank Galleria and Bayshore Town Center) that have yet to reopen since the original shutdown in March.

The company is also closing a location in Madison and its Chicago Troubadour project.

Company leader Scott Schwebel released the following statement:

“We are saddened to close these cafes for our co-workers and the customers they serve. We tried to make a go of it, but they simply are not viable in this COVID environment. We are rooting for a return to normalcy in these neighborhoods and Colectivo looks forward to being there for these communities when they bounce back.”
