East Troy

New on the Village Square
Frank's Main Street Sweets Station Opens on the Square — With a Story Worth Knowing
A new candy shop at 2885 Main Street brings sweetness to the village — and raises money for kids who've been through a lot.

East Troy's village square has a new neighbor. Frank's Main Street Sweets Station, located on the south side of the square at 2885 Main Street, had been aiming to open in February 2026. The small shop is a companion to Frank's Lunchbox, the hot dog and sausage operation already familiar to East Troy residents and area event-goers.

Behind both ventures is Frank, a retired fire chief and design builder who has been supporting the summer camp for burn-injured youth through the Professional Firefighters of Wisconsin Charitable Foundation (PFFWCF) since 1995. Proceeds from the sweets shop continue supporting that cause — meaning every treat you pick up helps send a child to camp.

Frank's Lunchbox features a menu of hot dogs and sausages at local events and pop-ups. Follow both Frank's Lunchbox and Frank's Main Street Sweets Station on Facebook for current hours and updates.
