Master Z's, a pool table and billiard retail store in Wisconsin are opening a new location in Brookfield.
Master Z's, a rec room and patio furniture retail store, is opening a new location in Brookfield, according to an announcement posted on its website.
The new store will be located at 19233 W. Bluemound Road, which recently housed the Laacke & Joys.
In December, Terry Mather, the husband and business partner of Laacke & Joys spokeswoman Marsha Mather, said the store's last day will be Jan. 15 unless inventory runs out before then.
The former Laacke & Joys building was sold for $3.3 million to Bluemound W. 19233 LLC, an investors group led by Scott Stollenwork, one of Master Z's owners, according to state real estate records.
Master Z's, a Waukesha retailer of pool tables, patio furniture, sports memorabilia and other leisure goods, has been sold to a group that includes the company's general manager.
Last April, owner Jim Lindenberg said he had sold the 26-year-old business to Upper Room LLC, a company owned by general manager Rob Kahler and investors Scott Stollenwerk and Michael Baudo.
Lindenberg declined to disclose the sale price.
He bought Master Z's, 1005 Spring City Drive, in late 2015. Shortly afterward, he purchased a similar retailer, Danny Vegh's, at Bayshore Town Center in Glendale, and turned it into a second Master Z's location.
Lindenberg closed the Bayshore store in January.
Master Z's Waukesha store includes an on-site warehouse, which allows customers to pick up any orders without having to drive to a second location like big box stores.
The new store will open in March.
