Fareway Stores Inc. hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony July 12 for its new Meat Market at 13430 W 151st St. in Olathe, Kansas.
“We are excited to expand into the state of Kansas with a Fareway Meat Market and look forward to serving the needs of area residents in the growing community of Olathe,” said Reynolds W. Cramer, Fareway CEO.
“We want to thank the city for their support in making this project possible, allowing us to enter into a seventh state, and for welcoming Fareway as a part of the community.”
The 7,400-square-foot store provides a full-service butcher counter, including USDA choice and prime beef, all-natural chicken and 100 percent certified Duroc pork, all cut-to-order.
Additionally, the location will offer to-go barbecue meal options through McGonigle’s Kitchen and Catering, similar to services at the 79th and Ward Parkway location. Traditional Kansas City barbecue options will include beef brisket, burnt ends, sausage rolls, pulled pork, brisket mac and cheese, steakhouse baked beans and other deli salads, which will be smoked fresh and available daily.
“We are eager to see Fareway open and look forward to enjoying high-quality products at a first-class establishment in our own backyard,” said Mayor John Bacon. “Investments like this in our community are key to maintaining the high quality of life that sets Olathe apart. This is an exciting time for our city, and we’re thrilled to have Fareway be a part of our community.”
The meat market will also provide an extensive grocery selection, including fresh-cut produce, dairy, healthy varieties and locally sourced items. Through an adjoining Wine & Spirits store, a variety of craft beer, fine wines and top-shelf spirits are offered. Customers can save $5 on their first purchase with a one-time coupon code of “OLATHEFIVE” at online checkout any time before August 31.
“We are really excited that Fareway chose to build their first ground up store in Olathe,” said Tim McKee, Olathe Chamber of Commerce CEO. “Now, residents in South Johnson County will have another option for high quality meats and produce. That paired with Brown Bag Liquor, you can’t have a better barbecue.”
