They started across the street in the original meat market, but then built the market that we know today at 508 S Wood St.

New Meat Market (Now Attached to Slaughter House): 1973
This is the current building and location that the meat market is today. This allowed the animals to simply be rolled into the cooler from the slaughter floor instead of workers having to carry an entire hindquarter across the street for processing.

Patrick and Gail Jackowski purchased Uvalde Meat from John Carroll and Evelyn Shaw.
