Henry
Fendt and his two sons Theodore and Alois Fendt started Fendt
Brothers Meat Market in 1919. It's a quaint little store in
Watertown where it still resides today. Tragically after only
nine months of being open, Henry passed away. This allowed
Fritz, the youngest of the brothers, to join the business at age
13.
The
Brothers built a business through hard work, making quality
sausages and having a friendly customer attitude. This has
allowed Fendt Brothers to survive even through the Great
Depression. Theodore's son Ken, and Fritz's son Donald, joined
the business in the 1950's and 1960's respectively. Ken
unfortunately passed away at a young age. Theodore and Fritz
worked 63 and
68 years
respectively mastering their sausage making techniques. Donald
bought the business in 1983 and has run it ever since. In 1997
Don's son Dale joined the business. Fendt Brothers is now in its
fourth generation.
