After a couple months of construction and renovations, The Son of a Butcher (TSOB), a local butcher shop in Pepper Place, will celebrate its grand re-opening.

The first stage of construction began March 1, and TSOB remained closed until March 10 due to demolition. Shoppers have had partial store access since then.

Now, customers are invited back for a celebration of the completed space, just in time for the holiday weekend.

Renovations were started to accommodate TSOB’s growing clientele, the shop said in its newsletter in March.

“As we’ve grown over the past four and a half years, we’ve reached a point where our current layout no longer supports everything we want to bring you. To better accommodate the items you’ve come to know and love, we’re upgrading our store layout!”

The updated space will allow the shop to sell:

  • Everyday sandwiches
  • Expanded prepared food offerings
  • Additional wine + beer selections
  • More thoughtfully designed product displays

TSOB will also create a small outdoor “garden nook” beside the shop, which will act as a place for guests to enjoy sandwiches and other prepared food, according to Sloss Real Estate Company.

Grand re-opening event

On Wednesday, May 20, from 5-6:30PM, TSOB will host a grand re-opening party, giving the community a chance to:

  • See the new layout
  • Taste curated samples of a variety of TSOB offerings
  • Enjoy beverages and in-store deals

If you plan to attend the party, TSOB asks that you RSVP through Eventbrite so they know how much food to prep.
