Values & History
We've been around since 1949. Started by Sally Everett, expanded by her son and still run by her grandchildren. The Runza Sandwich is also called Bierocks. Both the Bierock and the Runza sandwich have German-Russian roots going back to the 18th century. This unique recipe was passed down from one generation to the next, eventually finding its way to the Midwest of America and particularly to the states of Kansas and Nebraska (but with different names). Originally the Bierocks were served to the field workers for lunch. Today Bierocks are enjoyed at any time and can be found at just about every church fund-raiser in the Kansas area.
