KOHLER, Wis. – August 6, 2025 – Woodlake Market, a beloved destination in the heart of the Village of Kohler since 1986, will temporarily close to the public on Sunday, August 10, 2025, as it begins a full-scale renovation. The project marks a bold reimagining of the space to turn it into a vibrant, wellness-focused marketplace that blends culinary craftsmanship, community connection, and Midwestern hospitality. The updated market is expected to reopen in Summer 2026.

As part of this transition, a public sale will take place Wednesday, August 6 – Sunday, August 10 from 8am to 5pm or while supplies last, offering guests a final opportunity to shop their favorite items before construction begins. The sale is 50% discount on most in-store items.

β€œThis transformation reflects our commitment to innovation and to creating dynamic spaces that serve both our residents and the many guests who travel to Kohler,” said Stephen Beaumont, president of Kohler Hospitality. β€œWe are building more than a market. We are creating a destination that celebrates wellness, community, and the simple joy of exceptional food.”

The redesigned space will provide a more immersive shopping experience, introducing a new layout that prioritizes fresh, curated offerings and interactive culinary experiences. The revitalized market will include gourmet stations like a fresh deli and pizza oven, an expanded selection of wellness and sustainability-focused products, and a dedicated space for Kohler Original Recipe Chocolates - adding a sweet touch to the experience.

During the renovation period, Awakening CafΓ© will temporarily relocate to the Kohler Original Recipe Chocolates storefront, ensuring continued access to its wellness-focused offerings. Guests who are part of the market’s loyalty program will still be able to redeem points online during the closure, and all earned points will automatically transfer to the updated program when the market reopens.

The last day of operation for the current Woodlake Market is Sunday, August 10, with the revitalized market expected to reopen in summer 2026, ushering in a new era of culinary and community experiences that reflect Kohler’s enduring focus on well-being and hospitality.

Kohler student raises $1,500 for chess camp in memory of late uncle

Carson Duchow, an incoming fourth grader at Kohler School, recently raised $1,500 through a homemade lemonade stand in honor of his uncle, Kyle Nack. Nack, who was a well-loved schoolteacher and avid chess enthusiast, had his life tragically taken last year. He had introduced Carson to the game, sparking a shared passion for chess.

Carson approached his mother, Larissa Duchow, with an idea: he wanted to operate a lemonade stand for two days in memory of his uncle, both to keep his memory alive and to donate the proceeds to the Kohler Chess Club.

Setting up shop just down the street from their Sheboygan home, Carson offered snacks and lemonade with a choice of flavored syrups for creating a variety of flavored lemonades and mocktails. His mother created a menu of chess-themed names for each flavored drink, and included a Venmo QR code for payment. Community members began using Venmo to give additional donations, ultimately helping Carson raise a total of $1,500.

That money will now fund 20 scholarships for kids to attend a chess camp in August. The camp is taught by professional chess players, and Larissa said interest in the program has grown since news of Carson’s effort spread.

In addition to chess, Carson also loves baseballβ€”his favorite sportβ€”as well as golf, water parks, and trips to the family cabin up north. He lives in a home with three cats and seems to have a natural bond with animals. β€œWe have three cats at home,” Larissa said. β€œHe’s like the animal whisperer. They all follow him around and ignore me when he’s there.” Carson’s late uncle Kyle was also an animal lover who ensured animals were cared for. Sheboygan County’s Humane Society dedicated a bench in his honor.

Larissa said Carson is funny, always joking, and is caring. He once asked his mother to buy food so he could give it to someone he saw who was homeless. For his birthday this year, instead of asking for presents, he invited friends to bring items from the humane society’s wish list and donated all the gifts to the humane society.

Carson received official recognition for his efforts at a recent Kohler Village Board meeting, where Village President Thomas Schnettler presented him with a proclamation celebrating his generosity and community spirit.
