Brand Story
826 Marquette / Findler’s Fish Emporium is a proposed new chapter to cement a settlement in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
826 Marquette / Findler’s Fish Emporium is a proposed new chapter to cement a settlement in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
The played up identity of Findler is a play on Marquette’s Duality, specifically the duality between tourists & year-rounders.
The Lore of Findler is born of this juxtaposition - How can we teach others, especially children to respect the environment whilst also upholding regional tradition and quirk.
