With its 500-square-foot retail store, Ralph's Packing could provide customers with a variety of fresh red meat cuts and deli items. After expanding the Perkins, Okla., facility to accommodate a 1,600-square-foot store, the company can now offer an even greater amount of products in a more open, customer-friendly store.
“We saw that our customer base continually grew, and our volume was increasing, and we were just outgrowing the space that we had,” says Wes Beane. He adds that on busier days, customers would have to wait in lines to get product or check out, and they weren't always able to see the product displays.
