Your list of Sturgeon Bay coffee options grew a bit longer after the City of Sturgeon Bay Plan Commission granted a conditional use permit to Karla Thomas on Wednesday. The permit is for a commercial establishment with drive-through facilities located at a former Nicolet Bank at 217 North 4th Avenue. The vacant bank will now be a drive-through coffee shop called Brewed Awakenings. Mayor David Ward said that no one spoke during the public hearing. He added that the building use was already permitted and the approval was for use of the drive-up window. The unanimous approval came after a presentation to the Plan Commission outlining how the business plans to utilize the window. Ward says the board is excited that the building will no longer be vacant. 

Mayor Ward projects operations at the business to begin in September.
