If you happen to stroll down a quiet portion of South Fifth Street, you might have already discovered the Meat Packers Outlet. If not, you may never have known that this establishment was right under your nose.
The Meat Packers Outlet is a family owned business that has been around for over 53 years, and has roots dating further back to the Columbus Central Market in the early 1900’s.
This family business has been passed down through three generations and continues to operate today as a destination for beef, pork and poultry products. Most items are sold by the pound similar to a grocery store, and special bulk packages are also sold. These bulk sets are generally designed for a either a backyard grilling party, or someone looking to stock a deep freezer with meats.
The Meat Packers Outlet is located at 317 S. 5th Street, Downtown. Their hours are Monday through Saturday 8am to 6pm. More information can be found online at www.meatpackersoutlet.com.
