Cheese Retailing Expands in Monroe Over Five Decades
Monroe shows a rise in cheese specialty shops from one store in 1900 to four by the present. Early pioneer Jacob Burkhalter started counter sales around 1900, followed by owners including Arnold Hohre, John Aeschmann, Gottfried Dallenbach, and others. Archie Myers Jr opened the Swiss Cheese shop in 1938, John Kaufman started Monroe Cheese and Sausage in 1947, and Swiss Colony added a retail shop. The Old Fashioned Ice Cream store at 1015 16th avenue now includes a cheese department.

Wisconsin cheese shop and gas station linked venture
The Cheese Makers guild based in Milwaukee runs a mail order cheese business with Lamson as director and now operates a cheese shop linked to a large gasoline dispensing station. The guild moved to a chalet type building and the station is among Milwaukee area’s largest. Patrons are guided to cheese displays and automotive service facilities. The project is a mutual venture by the two operators. Butter production tops 3 million pounds annually in Green County, making it a leading Wisconsin butter county.
