Usinger's was the official supplier of frankfurters to the 2002 Winter Olympics at Salt Lake City.
A German immigrant and artist named George Peters painted murals in the Usinger's store depicting elves making sausage in 1906. Usinger's uses the "Head Elf" of these murals, named "Fritzie," as the company's mascot.
It is not uncommon to see a worker from the surrounding restaurants pop in to get Usinger's products for their respective store when they desperately need to restock.
