CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A town favorite off Staples Street will be moving a few blocks down the road to a new location.
Staples Street Meat Market broke ground Thursday on what will be their new place for the community to shop. Michael Meehan, owner of the meat market said the move comes after a two year delay due to the price of lumber.
The new location will include a couple of different options, from restaurant seating to drive thru and home delivery.
"The one thing we've always been about is trying to take care of the community," Meehan said. "And basically from my grandfather and parents they told me if you take care of the people, the people will take care of us. And that's basically what we have, and we're so humble we have to continue to serve the community the best we can."
While Meehan knows that their current location of 17 years will be missed, He said that they have simply outgrown it.
