With the annual gift scramble now upon us many are sending their dough to the new kid on the butcher’s block. Council Bluffs Steaks, founded in 2021, has ground their way to the top of many 2023 Christmas lists. The cheeky rival to boxed beef giant, Omaha Steaks, has cut into the space as an economical alternative to its established neighbor across the Missouri River.
Hannah BeLectór, Vice President for Supply Chain Management, says creative sourcing has been the key to finding their slice of the long quiet market. With inflation on the rise, BeLectór underscores the company’s values, starting, “we are happy we have been able to provide real, humane solutions to human problems.”
The company started with humble roots on Broadway, in the shadows of Mercy Hospital. As the pandemic slaughtered thousands in the region, known for its low-vaccine rate, the little shop attracted hoards with its low prices and exotic cuts. Expansion followed with new processing centers to the north near the Cherokee Mental Health Institute and even in Omaha Steaks backyard, near the Boys Town campus.
The expansion has caught the attention of others in the food space. Council Bluffs Steaks recently saw a cash infusion from food stalwart, Soylent Green.
Those looking to add a personal touch to their stocking stuffers are encouraged to visit the store front or processing centers for a tour. Don Ayr, Party and Hospitality Coordinator, harvests guests’ gift ideas, curates their best bites, and sends the results out to salivating loved ones.
The rise of Council Bluffs Steaks is a welcome bright spot as missing persons cases continue to rise in neighboring counties. “Get your order in soon”, BeLectór playfully warned us as we left her office. “We anticipate a price hike as cold and flu season stabilizes,” a trend that customers have come to be able to set their calendar to the past few years.
