Company founder, Peter Schuette, came to the United States from Germany in the late 1850s, settling in St. Libory, Illinois. After moving to a farm in St. Rose, he opened a general store.
Peter's two sons, Joseph and Frank, began working in the store in 1887, and as it continued to grow it dealt in dry goods, notions, shoes, stoves, tailor-made clothing, groceries, harnesses, hardware, sewing machines, barbed wire, carpets and linoleum. The St. Rose general store also dealt in live animals, such as horses and cows, and at one time, the Schuettes were the largest suppliers of fresh eggs in Clinton County.
FrankâÃÂ??ÃÂ??s sons, Francis and Peter, joined the business in the 1930s, and soon operations expanded with additional grocery stores in nearby towns.
Peter's sons, Mike and Tom, joined the company in the 1970s, becoming the fourth generation of Schuettes to operate the business.
Today, Mike and his daughters, Tessa and Sarah, lead the company and employ more than 125 associates, operating four modern Schuette's Market stores in addition to the original St. Rose general store.
