Schoop's Hamburgers is a 1950s-style hamburger restaurant with 21 locations in northwestern Indiana and the southern Chicago suburbs.[1] The first restaurant was opened in Munster, Indiana, in 1948. The chain started in 1984 in Munster. In August 2008, Barack Obama made a campaign stop at a Schoop's restaurant in Portage, Indiana, during his campaign for the presidency in 2008.[2] During his visit, Obama ate one french fry and ordered four hamburgers.[3]

Schoop's Hamburgers was first opened in 1948 on Calumet Ave. near Sibley st. in Hammond ,IN and then later moved to Ridge rd. in Munster,IN. When they moved to Munster they were known as Fogarty and Schoop's Hamburgers. According to a family member that I have talked with, Mr. Schoop was the accountant for the Miner Dunn Restaurant that was located at the before mentioned address in Hammond,IN. When Minor Dunn moved to Highland, IN., Mr. Schoop decided to open his own hamburger shop in the former Minor Dunn building and quit accounting.
