The building that houses the West Allis Cheese & Sausage Shoppe has been a place for food since its construction in 1926. Owner Mark Lutz said before the building was used as a cheese shop, it was home to a grocery store.
Sometime in the 1960s, Merkts Cheese Co. bought that property. Then in the 1980s, a couple bought it from Merkts and kept it running as a cheese shop. Lutz purchased the business in 2002, after he heard the couple was closing it down. “Next thing I knew I was in the cheese business,” he said.
Lutz added on to the building in 2013, where he opened a restaurant.
