ECKERMANNS MEAT MARKET

Food and Beverage > Meat Retail and W'Sale

Eckermann’s Meat Market was opened in 1961 in Shelby, Texas, but the history of the family business can be traced back almost 70 years. As a young man, Alfred Eckermann slaughtered and processed hogs for neighboring farm families. In the 1950s, he purchased a chest freezer to use for storing the meat he processed, and began his retail business. Through much hard work and a commitment to producing quality meat products, the business grew.

In 1961, an 800 square foot facility was built to house Eckermann’s Meat Market. Over the next decade, the facility was expanded four times to meet the need of their growing market and clientele in the area. In 1970, the state of Texas introduced new state inspections of all public meat processing operations. As a result, the meat market made more major facility improvements to meet the new state requirements. Years later, additional facility changes were made to meet the growing capacity, as set by federal requirements, and established operating procedures as they are used today.
