| Our History |
| This is the driving force behind what we do here at Werner's. The main goal of owners' David and Judy Miller has been to reintroduce the customer to the old world style of making sausages. That means the sweetest cuts of meat, the freshest spices, hand-twisted sausages and inspected throughout the process by highly skilled sausage makers...NOT MACHINES! Originally a Swedish store, Swanson's was founded in 1898 down on Westport Boulevard. In 1972 Swanson's was purchased, names recipes and all, by a German born Werner Wohlert. Major changes were on the way. First on the list was moving the business from Westport to the heart of Mission, KS, where it could be close to other German business'. Second, Werner incorporated his heritage, including his name and techniques he acquired in his apprenticeship in Germany. Werner retired in 1995. New owner's David and Judy Miller jumped in feet first. David has been in the meat industry since 1963, a fully trained butcher, he is very passionate about what he does. Continuing traditions of those before him, David not only makes sausages from the original recipes' handed down through the years, but he is improving and expanding the product he makes. Werner's wholesale business opened in 2005 offering FDA inspected and approved sausages to retailers and restaurants like the Royals Stadium Club. In October 2007, Werner's launched their website www.wernerswurst.com. This website showcases the most popular sausages made by Werner's and educates even the most seasoned sausage lovers about each variety, cooking tips and condiments that will compliment their selections. Your local butcher shop is becoming rare. Here at Werner's we strive to provide nothing but the best for our customer's. Whether you need a recipe, a steak or just some lunch, we'll be happy to help you! |
