Robert Wholey Company was founded in 1912 in Mckees Rocks, Pennsylvania. The store was opened by Robert L. Wholey who sold live poilty, meats, sausages, and coffees. Robert L.’s son, Robert C. worked with his father selling the various products and handling live poultry. In 1948, Robert C. returned home from serving as a Captain in World War II and opened the Robert Wholey Company Poultry Market in the Diamond Market in downtown Pittsburgh. He sold fresh poultry, including dressed chicken, eggs, duck, and turkey. In 1955, he began his popular chicken barbeques. In 1959, the Diamond Market area was converted to a park by the city of Pittsburgh. This area is now known as Market Square. Robert C. then moved his business to its present location at 1711 Penn Avenue in the area known as the Strip District.
