River's End Restaurants Our Story

The Kaiser family purchased the property in 2023, the second owner of this land! The Pugh family owned the property since 1849, just a year after Wisconsin became a state. The family had a very successful wood & coal, and fuel & oil businesses for more than a century before they expanded. The restaurant area was previously used as a loading dock for breakwater stones.

The restaurant was then built and opened in 1979 by the Pugh Family as they diversified their businesses on the property. The Chartroom quickly became a favorite and well-known restaurant in the city of Racine, WI with a prime location on the river.

Ken Kaiser and his wife Sheryl joined the Racine community by docking their boat, to the Racine Marina when it opened in 1988.  Chartroom quickly became their favorite go to place on a weekly basis while they were up here in the summers, with their son Dan.

After several years of watching the restaurant properties sit vacant, they knew the Pugh's were at a place to sell. So with much consideration and careful planning, the Kaiser family made their offer to become the second family to own the 11 acres of land. This is significant, as the Pugh's had many other offers over the years. The Kaiser family's plan to utilize it in the way the Pugh family would like, as it is most beneficial for the city, is what helped them seal the deal. The historical significance to this property is insurmountable.
