The History of Menches Brothers

Thank you to John Menches and the entire Menches Crew and thank you to the 100+ folks who came out to learn about the history of the Menches Brothers!
Everybody has a history...Two very innovated men during the turn of the century, Frank and Charles Menches. Through necessity to survive in their concessions they created the first Hamburg sandwich at The Erie Agricultural Fair in Hamburg NY in 1885 and first Ice Cream Cone at The St Louis Fair in 1904. Had numerous businesses in Akron and Canton. Their story is so powerful as entrepreneurs during this time of our country.
