What kind of businesses Hazel Green has

• 3 full-service restaurants: a menu page you can update by email, your hours and a map, plus a contact form for events and large groups.
• 3 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors: maintenance plans, the brands you service and a request form that works on a phone.

County-wide, Grant County counts 1,177 businesses with employees and 3,596 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). By number of employer establishments, retail trade leads in Grant County (15.2%), followed by construction (12.7%) and other services (repair, personal care, organizations) (12.1%). Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.

Households in Hazel Green have a median income of $64,688, around 17% less than the Wisconsin median of $77,485, so clear prices help. 62.1% of the village’s 499 households own the place they live in.

The population has barely moved since 2020: 1,176 then, 1,173 in 2025. Statewide, the change was +1.3%. Without much growth, the customers are mostly the same people every year; the website is how they remember you.

• If you send marketing email from your new business address, the CAN-SPAM rules (16 CFR Part 316) apply, including an easy way for people to opt out. 16 CFR Part 316
• Wisconsin’s state sales and use tax is 5%. Most counties add 0.5% (Milwaukee County 0.9%) and the city of Milwaukee adds 2%. Wisconsin Department of Revenue
