Who are we?
Wenger Meats & Ice is a family owned company that provides retail and wholesale services in the food industry. At our two locations in Central Pennsylvania we provide services ranging from a retail delicatessen, catering and beef processing to deer processing and cold storage. We have been able to grow as a result of our professional attention to many seasonal needs that are typically out-sourced by larger firms, and by facilities that are versatile enough to accommodate those needs. Additionally, our full line of cured and smoked meats have been developed from time-tested recipes and made available to the general public as well as a growing number of faithful wild game enthusiasts.
Our History
1920
Our Beginning
Carlisle Hygienic Ice Co. plant was built in the 1920′s. This company manufactured block ice and rented freezer lockers to individuals. Home freezers eventually diminished the need for ice and space.
1964
Our Fire
Fire virtually destroyed the Carlisle Hygienic Cold Storage Company building in 1964. Damage was estimated at more than $100,000.
1978
Our Expansion
Wenger’s purchased the business in 1978. They developed their business to include retail meats, catering, a delicatessen, lunch trucks and wholesale packaged ice distribution to convenience stores, beverage distributors and supermarkets.
1997
Our Remodel
Remodeling and expansion in 1997-98 produced the present day larger, more attractive store on East Louther Street. The ice business currently distributes in 7 counties with an additional distribution center in Newport.
2000
Newport Ice
We purchased the Newport Ice Company
2007
Beef Products
2007 to present. While scaling back the Lunch Truck & Wholesale Ice we added a smokehouse at our Newport location and grew our deer processing business by adding a whole line of venison products. That was our segway into making our own beef products such as sweet bologna, ring bologna, snack sticks and jerky as well as curing and smoking our own hams and bacon.
