• Milwaukee-area small businesses struggle as costs rise, sales fall (fox6now.com) — Mixed Bag MKE, a gift shop on Silver Spring Drive in Whitefish Bay, will close at the end of January after four years, citing rising costs and sharply lower holiday sales. Owner Amber Liddle and Milwaukee Ald. Alex Brower say the shop’s struggles reflect broader pressure on small businesses, and they’re urging residents to support neighborhood stores when they can.
