According to his son, Fritz, John came to America at the age of 16 to stay out of the German army. In 1928 he opened his restaurant, "John's Hamburger Palace", later renamed "John's Place".

"His philosophy on running a business was simple: be polite; no talking with the customers; get their food; get their money; then watch their back going out the door."
