History
Wiederholt’s Supper Club: preserving a local,  family tradition. 
 
Currently in its third generation of family ownership, Wiederholt's Supper Club has undergone transformations, but one thing has stayed the same: the importance of maintaining a family-owned and operated business.
 
Wiederholt's saw its start as an idea from George Wiederholt in the late 1920's.  His vision was fulfilled when the business first opened as a grocery store, tavern and filling station.  George and his wife, Kate, had one child named Sylvester Wiederholt, whom many called Cy.  When Cy became a young man he joined the military.  After Cy returned home to Miesville from the service, he took a hand in the family business and started working with his father.
 
In 1946, Cy married Harriet Weber and soon they were starting a family of their own while keeping up with the business.  Cy had an attraction to change and while pursuing other entrepreneurial opportunities, such as W&W Novelty and Vendrite Inc, the thought of serving food at the establishment turned into reality.  The switch to becoming a restaurant was such a success after the first few years, it seemed natural to close down the grocery store and convert that space to another dining room.

By 1961, the grocery store, tavern and filling station had transformed into a Supper Club, in the hands of Cy and Harriet.  However, the ownership changed sooner than expected when Cy had to sell the restaurant in 1971 due to health concerns.  In July of 1972, Cy passed away from a heart attack.  Later that year, Harriet resumed ownership over the restaurant.  Luckily, she had two sons in college, Charlie and John, who offered to help their mother run the business. 
 
The two brothers were met with success.  In 1977, they bought the restaurant from Harriet and maintain current ownership.  In fact, you can often find Charlie behind the bar and John in the kitchen.  On weekends, you can expect to see Harriet and her daughter-in law, Cheryl, as the friendly faces greeting customers coming into the establishment.
 
Awards
With such consistency in ownership and operation, it comes as no surprise that Wiederholt’s Supper Club was named “Small Business of the Year” by Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce in 2002 and was quoted as “…the area’s finest supper club” in the October, 1999 issue of the Mpls St. Paul Magazine.
