Business Opportunity! Smith Food Bank in Slater has been butchering and catering to Saline County and surrounding area families for over half a century--and now is your opportunity to add your mark to that legacy. This has been a thriving business for the owners with ongoing referral and repeat business--all organic. A new owner has ample opportunity grow the business through advertising and other means as well as take over the existing book of business with caterings and other events booked through the end of the year. The building features a 32x21 slaughter room with hooks and rails for hanging and butchering, a 15.7x18.4 walk in cooler, another 15.7x28.4 walk in cooler, a smaller 19.5x10 walk-in freezer, and a large 29.3x19.5 walk in freezer (the old locker room from before chest freezers were widely available!!). The building also features a walk in service counter area, a half bath, four 40-gallon water tanks, 3-phase 400amp service with a 600amp disconnect, and loading docks and stalls for live animals. You can take advantage of all the butchering and processing equipment (find a complete list in the documents tab) to be the only custom butcher in Saline County, or lean into the catering business with the full service kitchen complete with two 10-burner ranges with ovens, a double pizza oven, and all the necessities, or some combination of both! This is a fantastic opportunity in Saline County and *bonus*--the seller has agreed to hang around for a smooth transition and to share his trade secrets and recipes. If you've been considering your own meat processing or catering business, here's your sign!
