New York Butcher Shoppe finds success in Cahaba Heights area
When Jim Moeller decided to make a career change after working in the water industry for 25 years, he never imagined he’d enjoy something as much as he enjoys being a franchise owner of New York Butcher Shoppe.
The New York Butcher Shoppe franchise began when a two-generation family of butchers moved from Brooklyn, New York to Mount Pleasant, South Carolina to get out of the cold weather. They opened up a butcher shop and after a few years of success, they began to offer franchises.
Moeller, originally from Greenville, South Carolina, had a friend, Jim Tindal, who with his business partner, Todd Prochaska bought a franchise and eventually bought the franchiser assets from the original family. After hearing about their business, Moeller decided to give it a try.
His shop in Cahaba Heights, which is beginning its eighth year of operation, is one of nine locations sprinkled throughout the Southeast. Moeller did some research about demographics and found the Cahaba Heights area had a strong demographic profile to meet his business model.
“It’s a great family-oriented area,” he said. “People enjoy shopping for fine food, so we opened here and it’s been a success.”
New York Butcher Shoppe is a gourmet grocery butcher shop, providing a full line of hand cut steaks, prime certified angus beef as well as premium pork, chicken, veal and lamb products. “Our mission is to provide the highest-quality products and the most incomparable service you can provide,” Moeller said. They also provide gourmet prepared entrees, side dishes, salads and dips along with fresh sausages, frozen pastas, hard to find grocery items and a top selection of fine wine and cheeses. In addition, they offer large deli sandwiches and catering services.
Moeller is proud to be a part of the business community in Cahaba Heights. “I want to help the surrounding community grow together and be a place where people feel like they receive one-on-one service and high quality products.”
New York Butcher Shoppe, 3158 Heights Village, is open Monday-Saturday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information, visit nybutcher.net or call 970-7300.
