SEATTLE, WA — Bill the Butcher, Inc. (OTCBB: BILB), a leading retailer of organic and natural, grass-fed meats, today announced that its CEO, J'Amy Owens, participated in an important opinion leading forum for the food and meat industry held in Seattle, Washington on January 15. Michael Pollan, author of New York Times bestseller The Omnivore's Dilemma, lectured on consumer choices in the foods we eat and how it impacts the environment. One focus of the discussion was grass pastured meat.
Mr. Pollan commented on the future of grass pastured meat, a segment where Bill the Butcher is already a leading retailer. The author stated there is tremendous growth and consumer demand for healthier meat, and while the entire meat industry likely will not change, there is evidence that a large percentage will be able to convert to grass pastured meat. Pollan further added that there is no doubt that a national retail brand will emerge offering sustainable grass pastured meat.
"We believe Bill the Butcher is well poised to become that national brand," stated Bill the Butcher CEO, J'Amy Owens. "We're gaining significant traction with consumers, as evidenced in our rapid growth, in-store metrics, and social marketing metrics. We are following the model of successful Seattle-based retail start ups like Starbucks. Bill the Butcher is on its way to become the Starbucks of meat."
The company already has over 1,500 Facebook followers and 775 Twitter followers. 1,000 customers are on Bill the Butcher's opt-in email list and 42,000 people have visited www.billthebutcher.com for over 100,000 page views.
