Hall of Fame

Kenneth Berger created Europa Foods with Leon Wechsler in the early 1960s. He was a classic entrepreneur--hard-working, smart, principled, tough, oftentimes visionary. Europa Foods introduced Walkers Shortbread to the American market in the 1970s and built its national presence during a period of almost 20 years. Walkers Shortbread remains among the best-selling specialty cookies in the U.S. today.
