Brands you know. Brands you've never heard of. And the fun of not knowing which one you'll walk out with. 🪿

The Wild Goose Exchange began as founder Ayden Hughes Massey's COVID-era passion project, a mix of community, clothing, and self expression that took on a life of its own. Four years of brick and mortar later, there are four locations across the Midwest, and Ayden runs the Kenosha shop himself.

Inside: new and recycled fashion for men and women. Vintage pieces, familiar names like Lululemon and North Face, and plenty of finds you won't be able to place at all. They buy, sell, and trade, so your own closet can join the rotation.

As the first buy-sell-trade shop downtown, Ayden spent the early days explaining to people what thrifting even was. It caught on. Between live music nights, buy events, and pop-ups, here's how he puts it: "We've really loved Kenosha, and Kenosha's loved us back."

The Kenosha store is small and cozy, and Ayden is the first to tell you there's plenty more to explore downtown while you're here.

"If it goes on paper, we got you." 🖨️

That's Sharon Rossow's line, and after five decades on 6th Avenue, she's earned it. The Copy Center has been in the same Downtown Kenosha spot since her parents opened the doors in 1973. Sharon came along in 1979 and grew up in the shop, which means she can tell you the history of just about every storefront on the block.

Posters. Fliers. Menus. Business forms. Even shipping labels (the post office sends people right over). Ask Sharon why folks keep coming back and she'll joke it's "the joy that Scott and I bring to everybody's day." Then she'll give you the real answer: they're fast, they're efficient, and they care that what you walk out with is exactly what you pictured.

Fifty-three years in, Sharon still loves watching downtown grow. The new businesses moving in, the longtime ones going strong. In her words, this is the place to be.

Everyone has a favorite reason to return. Maybe it is the view, the energy, or simply the feeling of being downtown. What keeps bringing you back?

Pick out something new to brew at Southport Tea, then spend a little time browsing Olafson & Porter. A pretty great way to do downtown.
