History
of Leiters
For over forty years,
Leiters’ Fine Catering, Inc., has provided high quality food, outstanding
service, and a commitment to excellence to clients throughout the Washington
County area and beyond. This family-owned and operated business initially
started as a root beer stand in 1947. Based on the Dual Highway at the
Richardson's Snack Bar, the business was owned by Sam Leiter, his sister
and brother-in-law. Sam assumed management of Richardson’s in 1949.
With a new building addition in 1960, curb service was added to the thriving
business. Whether purchasing a tasty sandwich and a root beer, or simply
hanging out with friends, Richardson’s was a popular spot for all
ages. In 1968, the already successful business branched out into catering;
the beginning of what has today become Leiters’ Fine Catering.
Samuel Leiter and wife Virginia “Be” Leiter left Richardson’s
in 1976, continuing to cater from a diner on Pennsylvania Avenue in Hagerstown.
In 1982, the Williamsport Volunteer Fire Company offered their banquet
and kitchen facility as a home base for Leiters’ Fine Catering,
Inc. In 1988, Dave Leiter, the second generation, became a full-time employee,
utilizing his knowledge of the food business from his previous employment
at Richardson’s Snack Bar. Teri, Dave’s wife, joined the catering
team in 1994.
Currently, owners Dave and Teri Leiter provide services for a wide variety
of events ranging from intimate dinner parties to memorable, one-of-a-kind
wedding receptions and large corporate picnics. Leiters’ takes pride
in working with clients personally to ensure that menus, rentals, staffing
and décor are personalized, equally pleasing to both the eye and
taste buds. Thanks to the unyielding foundation and positive
reputation set by Sam and Be Leiter, present-day owners Dave and Teri,
as well as the four Leiter children, Becki, Jeremiah, Jessica, and Samuel,
keep this third generation, family-owned business going strong. The
Leiters’ Fine Catering, Inc. mottos are “It is Our Pleasure
