Jenn and Dave Bane plan on staking their claim on New Jersey by opening a series of hometown-style butcher franchises in the state. The Meat House opened its first shop Friday in downtown Summit, and the Banes have signed a developer agreement to open 19 more locations in the next 15 years.
The Meat House describes itself as the modern incarnation of a local butcher, with more products for those with a busy lifestyle. The 6,500-square-foot store will offer a wide selection of prime choice cuts of beef, pork, chicken, veal and fish, along with exotic offerings like kangaroo, boar, ostrich, emu and rattlesnake.
"As long as it's legal, we will be able to get it for you," Dave Bane said.
The stores also offer breads, fine cheeses, fresh produce, prepared side dishes, desserts, gourmet grocery items and, in some cases, a selection of fine wines and craft beers.
