Following a Public Hearing on Monday, July 12, the Plan Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit, including Site and Operational Plans, for AJ Collectables Kenosha LLC to occupy an approximate 5,600 square foot space located at 4623 75th Street Suite #11 within the Center 50 development. Aaron Heine and Josh Rowell, with AJ Collectables, made the request. The facility will include an indoor recreational area that will provide indoor batting cages and golf simulators, with retail sales of new sports cards, sports memorabilia, and sports collectibles.
"I am glad to see AJ Collectables move into Pleasant Prairie," said Jean Werbie-Harris, Community Development Director. "The company has two professional establishments in Wisconsin and will make good use of the space by bringing recreational, competitive, and social activities that sports enthusiasts can enjoy."
AJ Collectables currently has two stores, 4632 South 108th Street in Greenfield, WI, and 52 N Main Street in Hartford, WI. The new location in Pleasant Prairie will be the company's third location. The Pleasant Prairie facility plans to employ four full-time and two part-time employees. AJ Collectables aims to occupy the space beginning September 1, 2021, and anticipates an average of 25 daily automobile trips to and from the facility. The recreational center anticipates being open Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Saturday to Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
