Butcher & Specialty Grocer · Bradenton, FL
Family owned. Behind the case since 1971.
Prime and Wagyu beef cut in house, fresh local seafood, a real deli counter, and the crab cakes people cross the bridge for.
Doug Stivers opened the doors in 1971. Steve and Pat Stivers run the counter today, the same family, the same case, more than fifty years of quality meat for Bradenton.

About this preview
I built this for The Chop Shop. Here's how it becomes real.
This preview is temporary. It comes down two weeks after I first send it your way — the follow-up email has the exact date. If you want it finished, I finish it: the full site built out, the AI-visibility layer that gets The Chop Shop into AI search answers, and 90 days of tweaks after launch.
Websites start at $1,497. Most land between $1,497 and $3,500 depending on size, and I confirm the exact number with you before any money moves.
If anything I ship is broken or incomplete, I fix it at no charge. No contracts; everything after launch is month to month.
Founding-client rate for this month's projects. Ask me when you reply.
