Kohler headquarters in a planned company town
In the early 1900s, Kohler Co. CEO Walter J. Kohler Sr. set out to build a town where employees could live, shop and send their kids to school down the street from the company headquarters. Kohler Sr. hired the legendary Olmsted Brothers design team to bring the dream to life, just east of Sheboygan. Today, the village of Kohler is still home to Kohler headquarters and many of its employees, and the company has ingrained itself in local culture beyond its business. “Kohler is a planned community, so it has a lot of connectivity and walkability,” says Kohler resident Olivia Bearden, a Realtor with Village Realty and Development. “You see a lot of people walking to the parks or concerts. Kohler Co. sponsors a lot of them at the Waelderhaus and the American Club.” These days, residents don't need to work for Kohler to live in town, but all residents benefit from the company's extra touch. “Kohler cuts the lawns and has a whole landscaping department,” Bearden says. “Of course, if you own your own home, it’s your responsibility, but in the village, Kohler takes care of the streets and the landscaping.”
The central building of the Kohler Company is a landmark in Wisconsin.
The Kohler Company and The American Club are two great reasons to visit Kohler.

Shopping centers frequented by employees and historic dining clubs
The Shops at Woodlake is the community’s main shopping center, situated along a small, manmade lake. The Taverne on Woodlake has patio dining overlooking the water, plus live music on Friday and Saturday evenings. Woodlake Market serves as the local grocery store. “You can walk to it, and they have nice high-end products.” The deli has plenty of seating to accommodate Kohler employees who stop in for a sandwich at lunch. The American Club — a luxury hotel on the National Register of Historic Places — has a collection of restaurants, including the Horse and Plow pub, which offers happy hour for Kohler employees as well as live music and trivia nights for village residents. The Greenhouse is the coffee shop hidden in the gardens, where tempered glass creates a sense of privacy while still letting the light in. Target is in the community’s other shopping center, Deer Trace, located in the far southeastern corner of Kohler. Walmart is about 3 miles away.
The Woodlake Market is Kohlers local grocery store.
