Eckerlin Meats at Findlay Market is an old-fashioned butcher shop that has been family owned and operated since 1852. They are well known as "the place to get homemade Award-Winning Goetta."

When Findlay Market opened for business in 1855, Eckerlin Meats was there. Until recently, Bob Lillis, Sr. was the fourth generation to run Eckerlin Meats. Bob's great-grandfather, Ernie Eckerlin, came from Baden, Germany. The first Eckerlin Meats was a Cincinnati slaughterhouse that Ernie opened. Ernie expanded the business to include a retail stand at Findlay Market where his daughter, Frieda, worked. She married another Eckerlin employee, Al Lillis. Their son, Bob, continued the business. Bob's six siblings have all been a part of the family business at one point or another while they were growing up. When their dad retired in 1983, it was Bob who carried Eckerlin Meats into its fourth generation. He was 23 years old, and had been behind at the store every Saturday since he was a kid.
