What Demolition Wrought-Another Tale



I firmly believe that it is essential to highlight the outcomes of our efforts to dismiss the fallacy that demolition is singular destruction. The Fact is that our environmental and demolition work not only betters the environment, but creates economic opportunity. While many would bemoan the closing and subsequent demolition the car dealership in Wauwatosa, the new Dave & Busters will generate additional jobs, enhance the local tax base, and provide a quality venue for residents.

80% of the demolition debris from the former dealership was recycled; additionally, Champion Environmental Services, Inc. removed two buried underground fuel storage tanks. I can definitively state that our company does more for the environment on any given day than most self-proclaimed eco-friendly people achieve in a lifetime.

Below is an article that appeared in the “Biz Times Real Estate Weekly”.

Dave and Busters opens in Wauwatosa

Dallas-based Dave & Busters, a national chain of restaurant and entertainment centers, this week opened its first Wisconsin location at 2201 N. Mayfair Road in Wauwatosa.

The 35,000-square-foot Dave & Busters building was built on a site formerly occupied by a Ewald Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep dealership.
The Wauwatosa Dave & Busters location has nearly 200 games ( including classic skill and arcade games plus simulators and billiards), 24 flat screen televisions and a high definition projector screen, a full bar, restaurant and two private conference rooms.

“Dave & Buster’s is a totally new concept in the greater Milwaukee area where guests can eat, drink and play under one roof,” said Wauwatosa restaurant general manger Esther Gomez.

On average, Dave & Buster’s stores get half a million guests each year. Most visitors are adults 21 years of age and older.

“People in Wisconsin love to go out and have fun,” said Wauwatosa Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Meg McKenna. “We have been asking for a place like this for a long time. Dave & Buster’s will be a great addition to the community.”
