Overview
Kevin and Beth Schippers opened the first restaurant on Water Street in Eau Claire, Wisconsin in 1988. The store and sandwiches are named after characters in stories Kevin's father used to tell him. In 2003, Schippers was awarded Wisconsin's 2003 Emerging Small Business Person from the Small Business Administration. Because of Kevin's desire to pursue the ministry, in 2003 Schippers sold the franchising company to investors led by primary owner Eric Wolfe. Kevin Schippers continues to own the original Eau Claire location.
Erbert & Gerbert's prepare their sandwiches by cutting the bread and taking out the soft white dough part and leaving the guts on top of the sandwich.
In 2009, Erbert & Gerbert's was awarded a Gold Effie Award for their advertising campaign, designed by Colle+McVoy.
To celebrate the 20 year anniversary of Erbert & Gerbert's, a commercial was created allegedly using the world's largest Air Vortex Cannon.
