"Old School" Approach Helps Hometown Meats Find Years of Success and Strong Connection to Customers
Community loyalty to local business continues to strengthen Inver Grove Heights' economic development.
From the Minneapolis Star Tribune & PRWEB
In an era of superstores that offers customers more choices than ever, a local business has found that bringing back an older tradition has given them the chance to find success that are rooted in strong connections with customers.

In August, Hometown Meats, located two miles east of Highway 52, at the intersection of 80th Street and Cahill, will celebrate its sixth year in business. Owner Rob Reitberger is an Inver Grove Heights native and Simley High School graduate and his wife and co-owner, Robin, is from neighboring South St. Paul. They decided to bring back a tradition to help them compete in a changing retail market.

Hometown Meats is a throwback to the neighborhood butcher shop, updated to reflect today's faster pace but devoted to customer service. "We pride ourselves on greeting our customers by name and knowing what they want to order before they do," said owner Rob Reitberger. "People have more choices and options today than ever before. We worked hard to create a business that connects and serves our customers in a way that builds a long-term relationship that is good for everyone."
