Three openings, or grand openings, this week in the greater Fox Cities:
Altitude Trampoline Park
Altitude Trampoline Park is within days of its soft opening, which is the first day the park opens its doors to the public.
“We are waiting on our final inspections today. The goal is to be open Thursday,” said general manager Drake Bertnick.
The new trampoline park is the first on Appleton’s west side and the first Altitude location in Wisconsin. It’s at 4950 Integrity Way in Grand Chute, the former Steve & Barry’s space facing Wisconsin Avenue.
The entertainment venue has a main trampoline court, kids’ trampoline court, foam pit, ropes course, ninja course and Wipeout and a soft play playground among its attractions.
Park fees are all-inclusive, meaning once a jumper pays admission (for one hour, $8.96 for under age 6, $14.95 over age 6), “you can do everything,” he said. “Monthly memberships are still being set and will be a good deal.”
The park is open to all ages. It offers birthday parties and has special toddler time. Bertnick said the plan is to have a grand opening later.

B&J’s Riverside Club
Ken’s Riverside at N5645 Mill St. in Shiocton was sold in August, and the new venue that took its place holds its grand opening this weekend.
It’s is a traditional country music venue called B&J’s Riverside Club.
The club’s new owners are Bobby Darren, a Kaukauna-born country music singer, and Julie Stickney.
Darren is a familiar name on the local country music scene. He and Shelia Marie will perform Saturday night. Darren’s brother’s band, Danny Darren and the Drifting Cowboys, plays Friday and Sunday.
The sound-alike name shouldn’t be confused with Bobby Darin, the late pop singer remembered for “Splish Splash” and “Mack the Knife.”

Old National Bank
Remember the former A&E Jewelers building along Interstate 41 in Neenah?
After a year of remodeling, it has reopened as Old National Bank.
This branch at 971 S. Green Bay Road holds its grand opening this week with a Visa gift card drawing and donation to Best Friends Neenah Menasha.
The bank uses an open concept “concierge model” in which bank employees assist customers with all of their needs rather than sending them from teller to loan officer or specialist. It has an on-site ATM and computers for those who prefer to do banking themselves.
Old National Bank, Indiana’s largest bank, purchased Anchor Bank in 2016.
It has other Fox Cities locations at 1220 W. Northland Ave. in Appleton and W3160 County KK in Darboy. The Neenah branch was previously located on Lake Street.
Hours for the bank and drive-up are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Note that banks are closed for Monday’s federal holiday. See oldnational.com for ATM locations.
