Milwaukee’s long-running vegetarian and vegan friendly restaurant-grocery, Beans & Barley, announced it will close on January 31, 2026. In business since 1973, Beans & Barley (1901 E. North Ave.) was a pioneer in healthy eating for Milwaukeeans and survived the arrival of Whole Foods and other Competitors. According to owners Jim Neumeyer and Polly Kaplan, the building has been sold, and they were unable to purchase the property.
