The iconic Florian II Supper Club in Baileys Harbor will undergo a name and operational change in 2024 but will remain with the same Kwaterski family that has owned it since 1953. Twin brothers Jerry and Joe Kwaterski, along with their wives Mindy and Tina, respectively, sold the business to Jerry’s son Shane last month with the plans for it to be called the Augusta Club. The name honors their grandmother, Augusta Walther, who created many of the supper club’s recipes. Shane and Maddy Kwaterski will open the new venue in June, mainly for weddings, community events, and family reunions. Jerry says he is proud the property will remain in the family for a fourth generation.
Jerry and Joe took over the business from their parents, Florian and Ada, in 1972 after the FlorAda Club burned down in 1971 from an electrical fire. They will now focus on the Blue Ox across the road and their other family business in Baileys Harbor.
