LARRY’S MARKET FOUNDER

LARRY EHLERS

Larry’s Market started experimenting with new foods and trends in the early 1960s when Larry Ehlers was an employee of Brown Deer Market in a time when fresh-cut flowers, frozen foods and perishables were not exactly staples in your local grocery store. These experiments led Larry’s down the path to making their mark as Milwaukee’s first specialty & fine food store.

Fast forward almost 60 years and you will find Larry’s Market is thriving more than ever. Dale Curley, Larry’s executive chef of over 17 years, and his wife, Debbie, purchased the business from the Ehlers Family in 2017.

The Curleys along with their staff, plan to continue building on Larry’s established reputation. Warm, top-notch customer service, fresh, delicious deli offerings, corporate and residential catering, beautifully unique gifts and of course, the impressive selection of Wisconsin Artisan and European-style cheeses.

Other plans include streamlining menus, introducing a more farm-to-table style, expanding the selection of convenient prepared meals and planning educational, customer-engaging workshops and events. Stay tuned for more exciting updates!
