Bethe Lane may look familiar but after being a manager for the past four years, she is the new owner of The Book Stop in the Beacon Center. Bethe and her father, Scott Batterham, recently purchased the shop and have already started to remodel and add their touch.

Expanding space and opening up a relaxing reading area are just some things on the list.

Isles of books and a large list of book-exchange customers guarantee that there will always be a new book for you to read at the Book Stop.

In addition to running the Book Stop, Bethe is active in her Fireman’s Park Neighborhood Association and lives there. She is also active in her children’s school and local events.

Affordable Auto Care and Accessory

Welcome Zach Szymik, the new owner of 712 S Military Avenue.

It may be a strange time to open a business but car repair never stops. (dang it!) In fact, this could be the perfect time to get that work done that you have been putting off. You’re driving less and have more time to focus on maintenance.

Zach took over the former Naniot’s Auto Service after Bob retired in March 2020. He is no stranger to the automobile business. He also owns a car lot and auto repair on the east side of Green Bay.

The ole’ guys are still in the shop on Military and waiting for you to stop by. A new phone number may have confused a few people. Try 920-857-1008 to set up an appointment! Zach also plans a face lift for the shop.

Watch the progress on their Facebook page at Affordable Auto Care and Accessory Call 920-857-1008

Military Avenue is Open for Business!

The businesses, offices and restaurants on Military Avenue want you to know that they are open for business!

We will continue to offer the great services you have come to expect, just in a new way.


In an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19, we have taken extra measures to clean, practice social distancing, limit the number of people gathering, and still offer you the things you want and need. In fact, we hope that you will continue to shop at our many service, retail, office, and restaurants while we work through this uncertain time. We are working together for the good of all.

Wisconsin Governor Evers, along with many other States, have issued Emergency Orders that give us direction for the best ways to slow the spread of Corona Virus and flatten the curve of cases that could otherwise overwhelm our health systems. Here is a link to his Emergency Order #5 Prohibiting Mass Gatherings of 10 People or More.

Based on the State guidelines, businesses are practicing social distancing. This is a recommendation of staying 6 feet away from others and avoiding contact. Avoid hand shakes or people that are sick or sneezing.

If you are in the high-risk group, you need to be extra careful. Most of our businesses will come to your car, find a delivery option, or instruct you how to work with them on-line or over the phone. There really are many options for still getting the things you need. Even Alderman John Vander Leest, has offered to help out where needed.

All restaurants must only offer take out food as to not subject a group of more than 10 to gather. They will be very accommodating to your needs as we all want this to work for everyone. Drive-up, pick-up, delivery to your home, are options at most of the Military Avenue restaurants. Hours have been shortened for some, so call ahead.

The Winter Market on Military is looking at a call or email order system for your products. If you need some of your regular market items, email us at Director@MilitaryAve.org or call 920-544-9503 to place an order. The details are still being worked out for a drive-through market pick up.

The main point is that we are working together for the good of all, and we want to make sure you can relax and know that someone is here to help you get the services and supplies that you need. Look out for your friends and neighbors and always play it safe!
