In the meat department, we listen to the customer and make the package weigh less, only give them what they ask for or want. Only producing enough product to sell that day, keeping mark downs, throws and donations to minimum. Make grinds fresh every 4 hours, minimizing waste. Ordering what we need, giving our customers the best service we can, they are there because they trust us with their needs.
