I've made the decision that some how - some way I'm moving up to the northwoods within the next 2 years. Going to sell my house and quit my job that pays me very well and do it.

Love the Tomahawk area and realize employment is tough. What sort or types of businesses does the Northwoods need? I'd like to bring a busines to the northwoods - what's missing or would allow me to make some money and live comfortable?

Thank you.

I haven't been there in many years, but always thought a Krispy Creme franchise would do wonderful up there! Especially when the hot, fresh donuts sign is on in the cold winters! Add some coffee in the corner, you would have it made! There are a lot of stores vacant downtown, and would be ideal! Just a thought.

I've just moved here this summer, having lived here also in the 1980's. There is no shoe store in Tomahawk. There is no stand alone bakery in Tomahawk. Regarding donuts, I hate Crispy Creme byt Dunkin Donuts would be good There's no children's clothing store. There's a bridal shop, a women's boutique with nice clothes, the surplus store for camping/outdoor clothes, and Ben Franklin with Hatchet gear and very limited clothing. The Mercantile store has some limited clothing also but not for everyday wear, more what you buy on vacation like sweatshirts and teeshirts. I'd like a scrapbook store but not sure the economy can support one right now. There's no book store. There was one but it burned. I would love a book store, even a half price book chain store.

What isn't needed are any more antique stores or resale shops.

So there's a few ideas.

Oops, the message I posted here was meant for somewhere else. I know there has been market studies done in the past on what is available and what is needed in Tomahawk. I think a copy might be available at the Chamber. Might be another resource to check out.
