Customers have always known R-4 Meats in Chatfield, Minn. for their quality meats and processing service, but recently there have been some sweet and savory changes at the business.
Since opening R-4 Meats on April 1, 1997, the Reiner family has been serving up tasty meats and cheeses, but after beginning a remodeling project about a year ago they have expanded not only the physical size of the retail space but also their product line.
A room not previously used for retail space was remodeled and opened up, which provided a very large area for a new use. The meat cases and other equipment were moved into the newly renovated area where customers now enter the business and the original space is now a large prep and packaging area.
Decorated in farm and country style the new retail space feels welcoming and comfortable as soon as customers walk through the door.
R-4 Meats came up with a brilliant idea of using the meats and cheeses they already have in store to offer customers fresh and flavorful sandwiches and box lunches.
Customers can choose to order a sandwich alone or if you are a bit more hungry you can order a boxed lunch with a wide variety of sandwich options made just the way you like it. The sandwiches and box lunches have been a big hit with local residents and businesses as a convenient to-go meal for a quick and easy lunch and also for holiday parties and other occasions.
Customers can call ahead for sandwiches and box lunches or just walk in and order. If you choose to dine in, you can sit at a table and chairs and enjoy a relaxing lunch, but be sure to leave room for dessert as R-4 Meats has that covered as well.
