SEATTLE — Bill the Butcher, Inc., a retailer of organic and natural, grass-fed meats, today announced that it has appointed The Wall Street Group, Inc. as its financial public relations advisor.
The Wall Street Group, based in New York City, was founded in 1959 and was the first firm of its kind specializing in developing investment community sponsorship for the shares of publicly-held growth companies.
"The engagement of The Wall Street Group comes as we open three additional butcher shops in the Seattle area," said J'Amy Owens, chief executive officer of Bill the Butcher, Inc. "The Wall Street Group's excellent reputation and long experience within the financial community should help Bill the Butcher increase its awareness and visibility among long-term investors and investment professionals, including institutions, investment advisors, financial analysts, money managers and investment banks."
In its more than 50 years as a financial public relations specialist, The Wall Street Group has become known for, among other things, the introduction of first public entities in numerous industries, ranging from cablevision and mobile homes through hospitals and nursing chains, infomercials, software architecture and software staffing companies, the earliest breast cancer detection diagnostic, controlled release technologies companies in healthcare and agriculture and numerous other first-to-market concepts. The firm has, over the years, also represented and introduced many established local and regional retail organizations, including food and apparel companies, and presented them to potential sponsors throughout the nation and, when warranted, overseas.
Bill the Butcher was founded in 2009 by Owens, a nationally known retail expert, and executive chef and butcher William Von Schneidau. The two are building small neighborhood butcher shops that sell organic and natural grass-fed beef, pork, poultry and lamb purchased from local and regional ranchers and farmers who follow sustainable farming practices. Bill the Butcher opened its first butcher shop in August 2009, and today the company has five neighborhood butcher shops in the Seattle area. Three additional Seattle-area shops will open by the end of the year.
Bill the Butcher, Inc. became a public traded company in March 2010 through a merger transaction with a public shell company.
