SEATTLE — Bill the Butcher Inc., a Seattle-based retailer that sells organic and natural grass-fed meats, has hired Timothy McMullen to the role of Director of Operations. McMullen brings a lifetime of work that includes being a partner in multi-unit food franchise and owner of wholesale food distribution that serviced produce to wholesale markets and fine dining establishments.
"I am very excited to join an organization that shares my values and passions around sustainably raised foods that helps the collective from the farmer to the customer," said McMullen.
McMullen is working with the company to develop processes and procedures, as well as streamlining existing ones, to ensure that they are scalable for the current projected growth strategy. "I wanted to join Bill the Butcher because I could not believe what they had accomplished in under 2 years. With 6 stores already operating and 3 more under construction, and a 5,000 square foot commissary, I was impressed with the speed of growth and believe that my own multi-unit retail food systems and wholesale food distribution experience could help the national roll out," said McMullen.
"Tim has a linear, analytical way of thinking and is also terrific with people. Our Butchers have welcomed him as their new boss and I frankly am thrilled to have Tim on board to run our operations," said J'Amy Owens, chief executive officer.
