Tired of having to figure out what lies underneath the cellophane wrapper in the meat department at other grocery stores? At Ward’s, we understand that you want to know a little bit more about what you eat. That’s why we have experienced, friendly butchers on staff. Everyone behind the counter of our quality meats and seafood department can let you know not only what you’re eating but also when it was packaged. With their experience, they can probably make a few suggestions for preparing it as well!
We are proud to be Gainesville’s premier full-service meat department and will happily custom-cut your order. Stop by and visit Holden and Bryan, leaders in the department, for recommendations from these top-notch butchers. Our friendly and experienced staff is always ready to help. They all have the experience to meet any request, whether it’s large or small. With custom cuts, you know it’s fresh and it fits your needs exactly.
Freshness and quality are our focus, and we work hard to ensure that every item meets our strict standards. Each week you will find a different selection of specials, but the quality always remains superior.
