The Villager is a long established business on Main Street West Bend.  The old-fashioned soda fountain will take you back in time to the early 1930's, when malted milks, milk shakes and cherry, lemon and lime cokes were once standard fare for young and old as they took breaks from work or studies or met friends for relaxing small talk.  Adjoining The Villager is the old Mike's Meat Market building, which was remodeled into a gift shop in 2000.  Visitors will enjoy shopping for fine gifts, home décor, greeting cards and photo developing.  Recently added is a full service flower shop for all occasions, helium balloons and tuxedo rental.  The Villager is owned by Greg & Steve Hoyman of Hughes Pharmacy.
