Early life and career
Evans was born in Sugar Ridge, Ohio, where his father and uncle farmed on rented property.
In 1929, the family moved to Gallia County, Ohio, to be near relatives. The family lived in Gallipolis, Ohio, where his father owned and operated a grocery store. Evans attended public schools in Gallipolis and graduated with honors from the Greenbrier Military School, a private military boarding high school in Lewisburg, West Virginia, in 1937. He attended the Ohio State University of Veterinary Medicine from 1937 to 1939.
In June 1940, Evans married Jewell Victoria Waters (November 4, 1919-July 24, 2019). They moved to Gallipolis, where he bought the Malt Shop in the early 1940s. Evans sold his restaurant to a friend when he was first drafted into the Army in 1943.
When Evans started making sausage on his southeastern Ohio farm and sold it at a 12-stool diner he owned in nearby Gallipolis in 1948, Bob Evans Farms got off the ground. Evans couldn't find a good sausage, so he started making his own, slaughtering his own hogs, and using the best parts of the hog. The sausage factory was built with open ends at his father's suggestion, so if the sausage company faltered, it could be used as a machinery shed. A group of friends and family noticed the increasing demand for Evans' sausage and became his business partners by founding Bob Evans Farms in 1953. The original Bob Evans Restaurant on the farm was called The Sausage Shop. Although the restaurant started with 12 stools, today it seats 134 people.
