How We Became Carlisle’s

Our name Carlisle’s is a small recognition to Louis Carlisle Walker, a major philanthropist and contributor to the downtown Muskegon area. Walker was co-founder of Muskegon’s Shaw-Walker Furniture Co. which grew to an internationally renowned business. Not just a successful businessman, he played a key role in the economic and civic life to our beautiful city. He was officer of the Hackley Union National Bank, he helped organize the Muskegon Federal Savings & Loan Association, was a member of the Muskegon Board of Education and served on the board of the Hackley Library and the Hackley Art Gallery. Among his many contributions to Muskegon was the L.C Walker Sports Arena which he gifted in 1960, just a few years before he died in 1963. Renamed Mercy Health Arena in 2019 we thought it fitting to keep his name attached in our own way.
