Other Details:
For years, when passengers alighted from the State Street bus between Ohio and Grand in Chicago, the driver didn’t announce a street name or an intersection, he opened his doors and said “Burhop’s.” A Chicago institution since 1926, when Albert E. Burhop (“Pops”) set up his wholesale distribution business at 545 N. State Street, Burhop’s went into the retail business more or less by accident. According to Albert’s son Vern in 1985, “The area around the State Street store was once a lot more residential. People saw the fish being taken in and out - through the front door in those days - so they walked in, slapped down some money and took some home. The demand grew, so we finally installed some counters and made it part of our business.”
