Hungarian Kosher Food In Skokie Sold By Longtime Family Owners

SKOKIE, IL — After more than 45 years selling kosher meat on Chicago's North Side and in Skokie, the Kirsche family has sold Hungarian Kosher Food, the Skokie Review reported. The store at 4020 Oakton Street began when Sandor Kirsche and his wife Margit purchased a kosher market on Devon Avenue in 1973. It moved to its current location in 1986.

The couple's children, now in their 60s, decided to sell the store to the owner of a Florida kosher supermarket with the condition that they keep on the store's roughly 40 employees, according to the Review. Their daughter, Lynn, plans to write a followup cookbook and travel, while brother Ira plans to remain involved in the business.
