Orange Beach, Ala. - (OBA) - About twelve years ago, Glenn and Dale Beard, a visionary couple from Georgia, set out on a mission to bring top-quality meats to the Alabama Gulf Coast and opened the doors of their shop, The Meat Mart, on Memorial Weekend of 2011. Over the years, their shop has blossomed into a beloved spot for both locals and tourists.
Glenn, the butcher, and Dale, his business-minded wife, initially started with a gourmet butcher shop, focusing on top-quality meats. Glenn's commitment to quality and service quickly earned them a loyal customer base. Dale, with her keen business sense, recognized a demand for fresh seafood in the area. So, they expanded their offerings to include a variety of seafood options, further enhancing their reputation as a one-stop-shop for quality product.
Situated in the same complex as Coco Island Furniture and Duck's Diner, The Meat Mart is the first and only full-service meat market and butcher shop in Orange Beach. The Meat Mart has become a staple in households from Fort Morgan, Alabama to Perdido Key, Florida.
The shop offers a little something for everyone, from Certified Angus Beef, USDA Prime and Choice Hand cut steaks, to an outstanding variety of homemade sausages, handmade crab cakes, sushi grade tuna and Naked Bird Free Range, All Natural Chicken.
The Meat Mart is also known for its excellent selection of sauces, spices, condiments, and seasonings, helping customers create spectacular meals for their families or guests. For those who want to serve a fantastic meal without all the time and effort, The Meat Mart offers a unique selection of homemade heat and eat dishes.
Customers have consistently praised The Meat Mart over the years. One customer, Eric Logsdon, recommended The Meat Mart on Facebook, praising the "top-notch staff and high-quality products." He also highlighted the variety of products, the freshness of the food, and the convenient location.
As Glenn and Dale celebrate their 12th anniversary this Memorial Day Weekend, they look forward to many more years of serving the Alabama Gulf Coast.
