June 5, 2018 – West Bend, WI – The West Bend Common Council voted unanimously Monday night on an Original Class A Combination liquor license and the name of the business was West Bend Sausage Plus.
The address on the license application was 1435 W. Washington Avenue (Street). Neighbors in West Bend are familiar with that location as it was formerly Ries’ Sausage Plus.
It was February 2018 when we first reported “Neighbors coming home from work Thursday afternoon reacted with a bit of shock to find the doors closed at Ries’ Sausage Plus Spirits Meat & Deli, 1435 W. Washington Street in West Bend.”

A white sign on the door read ‘We are closed until further notice. Thank you.’
Sammy Toor of Illinois had been the previous owner of the business.
Over the past five months there’s been little movement at the store.
Paperwork at City Hall show Ben Houle of Cedarburg applied for the liquor license May 17, 2018.
A bit of research on Houle links him to a business called Butchers Catering.
The web page and business Facebook page talk about,”Our open grill concept allows your guests to watch the pig or rotisserie chickens openly spin over hot coals for hours during your event.”
Calls have been placed to Houle. We’ll bring you more details when they become available.
