January 1, 2020 – West Bend, WI – There was a fresh 3-inches of snow on Tuesday morning, December 31, 2019 as the landscape was about to change on Highway 33 in West Bend.
A two-man crew from BMCI Construction started at 7 a.m. and with one backhoe they managed to level the building in less than three hours.
Contractors moved quickly filling three Dumpsters with red bricks, gutters and siding.
Quite a few neighbors chimed in during the live broadcast of the demolition about the famous Pizza Hut salad bar and the old tabletop arcade games.
But do you remember the bumpy ruby red plastic glasses or the plastic hand puppet? Kaitlin Portlance remembered the free pizza for reading in the Book It club. Click HERE to see how many things you remember from Pizza Hut.
Once the site is clear construction will get underway for a new Dunkin Donuts / Baskin Robbins.
WashingtonCountyInsider.com was first to report on that development on August 30, 2019.
The West Bend Plan Commission reviewed the proposal Sept. 5, 2019. Click HERE for details.
Below is a rebroadcast of the live broadcast from 9:15 a.m. Tuesday, December 31, 2019. (Yes… I realize I got my dates messed up in the beginning.)
West Bend still has a Pizza Hut, 1460 S. Main Street in the Paradise Pavilion.
