In 1968, Ralph and Lucille (Sis) Ehlenbach purchased Fenlon’s House of Cheese in DeForest, Wisconsin. They ran the small cheese and gift store under that name until 1972, at which time they changed the name to Ehlenbach’s Cheese Chalet.
In 1972, Jim Ehlenbach began working with his parents at the store and eventually became store manager. In 1986, Ralph Ehlenbach passed away. Jim then took over ownership of the store and carried on the family business.
Jim’s son, Brian, started working at the store in 1992. Over the years, Jim trained Brian in the hopes that someday he might want to take over the family business.
In 2001, Brian married his high school sweetheart and co-worker Karie Kopplin. In January of 2002, Brian and Karie took over operation of the family business.
In 2003, Brian and Karie’s nephew, Tyler, started his very first job—working at the cheese chalet. Tyler learned from Brian, just as Brian learned from Jim, and as Jim  learned from Ralph. 
In 2018, Tyler married his best friend and co-worker of five years, Nicole Stewart. Tyler and Nicole took over operations from Brian and Karie in January of 2024. They are hoping one day to pass along this 4th generation family business to their precious children.
