We never thought we’d be posting this, but here we are. A year and a half ago, we were making plans to shut down this March, for a month or two, to finish our remodel. And now that March has come and gone, our plans have changed. We have been struggling to make a big decision since December, but we feel it is in our best interest, for our family, to close Barrett Locker. Our kids are growing up too quickly and the locker doesn’t provide the flexibility we need to be there with them in these young years. Our bodies are also telling us we need to slow down a bit and to decrease the amount of mental and physical stress that comes with owning a business. It was hard to say no to scheduling more jobs, especially with how close we have become to many of our loyal customers. It is also hard for people to hear the word no.
We know there are a handful of people that we haven’t contacted yet, but please plan according, if you were planning to use us for future needs. Our last slaughter date was March 27th.
We hope this isn’t the end for Barrett Locker, but time will tell. Hopefully this is a, “See you later,” and not a goodbye. We are thankful for the past eight years and the relationships we’ve built with you, farmers and customers.
Please personal message our page if you have any questions. We will continue to be open our regular hours, finishing up odd and ends, until April 29th… when we will turn the freezer off. If you have meat in the freezer please call or message us to line up a pick up date.
Again, we are so sorry for the short notice. This has been a very heavy decision to make, but it is one we needed to make for our family! Thank you for understanding, and thank you for your business over the past eight years!
