It was a giant celebration for Viking Meats Ltd. on Saturday with balloons, birthday. cake and barbecue to mark 30 years in business.
People just kept pouring into the parking lot where tents with tables were set up for everyone to visit and enjoy the day.
Owner Yogi Miskew was busy with help from staffer Chris Sutter barbequing and serving delicious Viking wieners, which Viking Meats is famous for making.
An anniversary cake was cut and distributed to the crowd, which showed its support for the local business by streaming in throughout the day.
The business inside the store was also brisk all day keeping family members and staff very. busy serving them.
Viking Meats Ltd. started in 1994 as a family owned and operated business serving Viking and the surrounding area. The company initially started as a meat butchery before branching out to sell different products like fresh meat and deli counter products, groceries, homemade sausage, barbeque beef roast and party trays, as well as processing wild game and selling fireworks.
It is located along the service road adjacent to Highway 36. This allows the store to serve local customers as well as those that come from the busy highway traffic.
Viking Meats Ltd. is known as “a company dedicated to providing high-quality meats for customers who seek fresh meat products, yet affordable.
“We also maintain a friendly, fair, and fun work environment, which respects diversity, new ideas, and hard work.
And its biggest attribute could be the fact it is so widely known as “the home of the famous Viking sausage.” This was self evident by the number of people who flocked to the business’ 30th celebration and kept Yogi so busy cooking up those Viking sausages.
