Deli Clerk

**Who We Are**

It all started in 1989 with one shop in Port Coquitlam, BC—an authentic old-fashioned style neighbourhood butcher shop, small in size but big in character, complete with sawdust covered floors, sides of dry aged-beef, and a 50ft. full-service fresh-meat display counter. More than 30 years later, our business has grown, and our family has grown along with it. We now have Meridian Meats butcher shops in Port Coquitlam, Langley and White Rock, and Meridian Farm Markets in Tsawwassen, Maple Ridge, Mission and Abbotsford along with Ralph’s Farm Market in Murrayville.
