“I had the honor of meeting with Paul Slesar of Slesar Glass and I hope to one

"I had the honor of meeting with Paul Slesar of Slesar Glass and I hope to one day make this a legacy business to give to my daughter just like he made in this building," said Wolf.

The remodel process started earlier this month as the building was gutted. Gone is the raised platform counter and reception area. The carpeting has also been removed along with some partitions.

"You can see the floors are pitched a bit," said Wolf. "There used to be garage doors along the walls and vehicles would pull in and have their oil changed. Underneath the floor are drains and in the corner is a grease pit."

Some history on the building: Erv Van Beek had a Plymouth dealership in the mid-1960s, then there was a printing press for the Daily News in the building and then Slesar Glass moved its business.

Neighboring businesses at the time included the old City Hall across the street, currently home to Time Investments. There were attorneys to the south, Winkler's Office City was to the east and before Marth Realty was to the north, West Bend Amusement was on the back side of some Main Street buildings along with Hankerson's Bakery.

It was the history and the unique architecture Wolf fell in love with when she toured the building, particularly the vaulted ceiling and the riveted metal beams.

The lower level features a unique metal door that led to an oil change pit below the showroom floor.

The former Slesar Glass building has been divided into two parts. Wolf, operating as Wolf Triple R, LLC purchased the southern half at 109 N. Sixth Avenue on February 24, 2023, for $376,000.

It was mid-2018 when Slesar had the building up for sale. Records show 109 and 111 N. Sixth Avenue sold November 17, 2020, for $500,000.

Wolf said the new location will feature 6 -to-8 rental suite locations, cosmetic tattoos, lash education, a float room which is a "glorified hot tub with 700 pounds of salt."

The new Rogue Beauty Bar is expected to open in fall 2023.

On a history note: Wolf said she has been asked dozens of times about the cartoon map of West Bend, WI and whether it survived the interior demolition. Fans of Slesar Glass will remember the map was under glass at the front counter. Click HERE to read that story.
