How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I was an executive with a food service company and wanted to be a small business owner. Knowing the snack food industry - the idea of providing a good tasting, high quality, popular product at prices much lower than retail - could work. We formed an alliance with a small family meat business. These products are not available at typical retail outlets and are not available through normal distribution chains.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
There is no direct competition. Competing national brand products are lower grade, lower quality meats - manufactured in South America. National brand prices are 25% to 50% greater than our prices.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
Currently - Sterling Heights is the only Michigan location. Expansion is probable based on the economy.
