In 1932, Karl Ehmer started his first butcher shop on 46th Street and Second Avenue in New York City, NY. Due to the depression, Mr. Ehmer was forced to make product at night and work a full time job uptown during the day. Mrs. Ehmer ran the shop during the daylight hours.

From this facility he manufactured products for six stores.Karl Ehmer is where you expect the wurst, and you'll get it.
