SB&GR Billiards Store

The roots of Schmidt Billiards and Game Rooms reach back to St. Louis, Missouri, where owner Fred Schmidt learned the pool table trade from his father, Harold, and the seasoned pool tables technicians at A.E. Schmidt Co. Fred's great-great-grandfather, Ernst Frederick Schmidt, founded the A.E. Schmidt Co. in 1850 and built a pool tables manufacturing business based on craftsmanship. A.E. Schmidt pool tables continue to be produced in St. Louis by the Schmidt family and are renowned for tables quality and durability.
