Wahlburgers closes in Milwaukee The Wahlburgers location in the city's Third Ward neighborhood is no longer in operation. That spot, at 322 N. Broadway, opened in January 2020. Celebrity brothers Paul, Mark and Donnie Wahlberg created the restaurant concept, and supermarket chain Hy-Vee Inc., a Wahlburgers franchisee, operated the Third Ward location. A spokesperson for Hy-Vee said the closure was prompted by staffing challenges and the changing nature of the restaurant industry. The grocer said it is evolving its Wahlburgers strategy.
