Our History

In 1933 my grandfather Henry Eidenberg founded General Store Fixtures on West Madison Street in Chicago, IL. In the years following, General Store became 
well known for it's unsurpassed customer service and attention to detail. By the 1960's when my father Frank was handed the reins, General Store was established as one of the largest and most successful restaurant suppliers including as a resource for Chicago's burgeoning Asian cuisine market.

In 1978 I joined the family business working alongside my father developing attention to detail, excellence in customer service and top quality delivery capabilities. After three  successful generations of family business, General Store closed it's doors in 1989.                                        

In continuing my family's tradition and reputation, I decided to start my own restaurant supply business and in 1994 EME Restaurant Equipment was established.
