The Erbert and Gerbert’s story begins with a...story. The story of a father who regaled his ten children with the adventures of Erbert and Gerbert Herbert. Two small boys who traversed the universe in search of adventure, but found things much more valuable--wisdom, kindness, and most importantly, friendship.
One particularly impressionable child grew up to become the founder of Erbert and Gerbert’s--named in tribute to his father, his family and the stories that shaped his family. He even named the sandwiches after the characters Erbert and Gerbert encountered in the stories.
The tales David Schippers told his children weren’t just entertainment, they were life lessons. Lessons his son, Kevin Schippers, wanted to pass on to the world through his love of stories. Stories he turned into sandwiches that have captivated customers for 35 years. Just like those stories did for those ten children all those years ago.
