History[edit | edit source]
The origins of Weigel's trace back to the early 20th century when William Weigel established a dairy farm. The business initially focused on producing and delivering milk directly to customers' homes, a common practice at the time. In 1931, amidst the Great Depression, Weigel's ventured into the retail space by opening its first store. This move was strategic, allowing the company to sell its dairy products directly to consumers in a market setting.
Over the decades, Weigel's expanded its offerings beyond dairy products to include a variety of convenience items such as snacks, beverages, and fast food options. The introduction of fuel services further diversified the company's business model, making Weigel's a one-stop-shop for many customers.

In addition to food services, Weigel's also provides fuel services, with many locations featuring gas stations. This integration of convenience store and fuel services has been a significant factor in the company's success, offering added convenience for customers.
Community Involvement[edit | edit source]
Weigel's maintains a strong commitment to the communities it serves. The company is involved in various charitable activities and initiatives, supporting local organizations and causes. This community-focused approach has helped build a loyal customer base and has been integral to the company's positive reputation in the region.
