About Us

Our story begins with Samuel Fein. Born in 1904, Samuel Fein married at 21 and had three children, two daughters and a son named Simon, also known as Simie.  Before Fein Brothers, Sam ran two restaurants in the 1920’s . He sold his two beloved restaurants and dove into a new business, selling restaurant equipment. Fein Brothers was born in 1929 when Sam and his brother started the business. A few months into their new venture, Sam’s brother left the company and moved to Florida but Sam kept the name. The original Fein Brothers was a 35,000 square foot building at 4th and Juneau.

By 1967, the store had outgrown its space and Fein Brothers moved to its next location on 2007 N. Martin Luther King Drive. Sam spent the next 55 years owning and operating Fein Brothers with his son Simie. After retiring from the Army, Simie graduated college and at the age of 22 began working for his family full time for the next 50 years. Simie’s friend and classmate Gil Minkin started working for the Fein family in 1956. Gil started driving the delivery truck for the company and soon worked his way into ordering merchandise and became a salesperson and phone receptionist. Gil’s son Todd began working for Fein Brothers during the summers when home from college and eventually came on full time after he graduated. Todd’s cousin Ben soon joined the Fein team and in 2009 they were given the opportunity to purchase the business. 

The Minkin cousins bought the company from the Fein family under Dine Out Inc., but continue to operate under the Fein Brothers name today in our new showroom located at 2025 N. Martin Luther King Drive. Under Todd and Ben’s ownership, the business has grown each year. Currently Fein Brothers has 25 employees and continues to experience rapid growth.
