Brauhaus Schmitz opening stand at Reading Terminal

Wursthaus Schmitz, a German-themed stand from husband and wife Doug Hager and Kelly Schmitz of the South Street beer hall Brauhaus Schmitz, is due to open around Memorial Day at Reading Terminal Market.

The stand, facing Center Court in the former Spice Terminal location, will offer a mix of hot foods, German deli and prepared foods to take home, and imported German specialty food products. Construction should begin in April.

The opening will fill a major niche created when longtime merchant Siegfried’s European Gourmet closed in 2000.

The Brauhaus Schmitz-ers got a taste of the "stand" life over the holidays when they sold wurst at the Christmas Village at LOVE Park.

    Italian Market, Zern's...

    Is Spice Terminal leaving or simply moving, as so many others are in this revitalization?

    Leaving, as their owner unexpectedly died last year.
