Southridge Mall Location in Greendale WI

Runkel Bros. American Garage, Incorporated was founded in 1986 in Madison, Wisconsin.  During this time  the business primarily focused on speciality apparel for Universisty Clubs, Frats, Departments, and Soriorities. 

Upon leaving the college ranks in 1988, Runkel Bros began to focus on the great logos of American Industry; Harley Davidson, Miller Brewing Company, John Deere, Coca Cola and Mobil to name a few.  From 1991 and 2001 we opended eight Mall stores in a tri-state area.  The Mall business in the 1990's was very exciting and an enjoyable business to be part of, however in the late 1990's with the internent boom, this trend began to change.  With our customers becoming more comfortable with the internet, we decided to focus more on our on-line sales.

In 2005, after 12 years in operation, we closed our award winning designed Gas Station themed store in the Mall of America.  The run was great, but we needed to move forward in a business where the Malls seemed to fall out of step with the new world of on-line retail.  In that same year, we closed our store at the Fox River Mall in Appleton, WI after a 14 year run.  

Also in 2005 we left the Gurnee Mills Mall after operating in the center since 1991.  The MIlls Corporation mananged to destroy a Mall Development Company with poor management, loose accounting practices and corrupt trading practices.  The greed of several upper Management people saw the stock plummet from a high of $65, to a low of $11 in less than one year. This greed caused severe damage to several small retailers like Runkel Bros. American Garage.  The company was recently sold to the Simon Corporation.  The Simon Corporation is one of America's largest and most respected REITs. Other store closing included our Rockford, Ill stores at the Cherryvale and Machesney Park Malls, and stores in the East and West Towne Malls in Madison, WI. 

Our last remaining store is located in the Southridge Mall in Greendale, Wisconsin.  Our 1950's themed car dealership store carries a large selection of Nascar Apparel,accessories, and logoed apparel and novelties from American legends including Ford, Chevy, Coca Cola, John Deere and Harley Davidson to name a few!!!  We have focused greatly on improving our Ebay store and hope you still enjoy the items we carry!!!
