Madison, WI – May 6, 2008. The Mallards are excited to announce the addition of Maynard’s, a 100% locally sourced burger joint to be located behind the first base bleachers at the Duck Pond.

Maynard’s will feature 100% locally produced & prepared food items including fresh, never frozen, burgers from Stoddard’s Meat Market in Cottage Grove.

Mallards General Manager Vern Stenman believes the “dine-in” style menu will bring nostalgic feelings to fans of all ages.

“Maynard’s is something very close to my heart. The concept is modeled on a place I frequented growing up & we really hope our fans will enjoy the higher quality local foods that we’ll serve,” said Mallards G.M. Vern Stenman. “There is something that just seems right about sitting down & enjoying a great burger, some fresh hand beer battered cheese curds or onion rings & your favorite beverage while watching America’s pastime.”

Come join us on May 29 for the grand opening of Maynard’s!
