The Gobbler
The Gobbler was a motel, supper club, and roadside attraction in Johnson Creek, Wisconsin, United States. It was designed in the late 1960s by Fort Atkinson architect Helmut Ajango for local poultry processor Clarence Hartwig and opened in 1967. The menu featured turkey, prime rib and steak. It included a rotating circular bar that completed one revolution every 80 minutes. The Gobbler was at the intersection of Wisconsin Highway 26 and I-94, halfway between Milwaukee and Madison, Wisconsin. It closed in 1992.
==History==
Hartwig's poultry plant was located just south of the supper club and closed in 1971 after Hartwig announced that it was too costly to upgrade the plant to meet new USDA standards. At the time, the plant was the largest employer in Johnson Creek, employing up to 300 workers and processing 30 million pounds of poultry a year. Hartwig's other ventures, the Gobbler supper club, the Cackle Shack restaurant and Gobbler motel remained open.〔Effie Loomer, "Plant Closing Shocks Village", ''Wisconsin State Journal'', February 9, 1971.〕
In 1974, the Wisconsin Equal Rights Division ruled that the restaurant violated the rights of two women by firing them for refusing to wear uniforms that were different from the uniform of male employees. Male waiters and bartenders wore tuxedos, while female waitresses were required to wear "black briefs, fishnet stockings and V-necked hunting jackets."〔Mike Ivey, "Hartwig's Gobbler Files Close Notice", ''Capital Times'', May 29, 1992.〕 It was the first ruling to find "sex discrimination on the basis of uniforms".〔Ann Beckmann, "Rules Out Sexy Garb As Job Basis", ''Capital Times'', April 12, 1974, p. 1.〕
In late May 1992, then-motel and restaurant manager Clyde Hartwig filed a notice with the Village of Johnson Creek stating that the motel and restaurant would "permanently cease operations and close its business"〔("Fowl Out? Gobbler Gives Closing Notice" ), ''Milwaukee Sentinel'', May 29, 1992, p. A1.〕 by July 26 of that year. A newspaper article about the closure noted that, when the announcement was made, the operation was struggling, and that a visit showed only "7 tables of about 40 tables" were occupied during the dinner rush, and that "Five vehicles were parked at the motel at the same time". The restaurant closed as scheduled, although a newspaper article published in 1995 claims the motel had stayed open〔("Restaurant opens at site of Gobbler" ) ''The Milwaukee Journal'', March 22, 1995, p. B6.〕 until early that year.
