Until 1973,  Edwin & Sophie Salsburg, along with sons Bill, Paul & Rick, operated a meat business in the Pennsylvania Dutch farm country near Reading, PA.  After selling the business, the family brought its old world secrets to South Florida & created Penn Dutch Food Center.

In 1975, the store opened in Hollywood with 17 employees in a 17,000 square feet facility.  Expansions over the years have increased the size of the Hollywood location to its current 40,000 square feet with over 200 employees. In addition to the growth of the original store, we've expanded & opened a 2nd location in Margate. On March 18th, 2004, we had the grand opening of our Margate facility which is 70,000 square feet with 250 team members!    

The 2nd generation of family has passed the torch to the 3rd generation, Greg Salsburg (President) & Kara Salsburg Boehly (Marketing Director) are two of Bill's four children. Jeremy Salsburg (Engineer) and Micah Salsburg (Hollywood Floor Manager) are Rick's two children.  They are following in their footsteps and growing the business on great customer service & fresh products!
