The Minnesota Beef Council announces that Grand Champion Meats of Foley and Crosslake received the 2016 Minnesota Retail Beef Backer Award.
Funded by the Minnesota Beef Checkoff program, this award honors retailers who have gone the extra mile to market and merchandise beef in Minnesota through execution of outstanding beef promotions.
Grand Champion Meats in Crosslake opened in 2013.
"We are honored to receive the Retail Beef Backer Award from the Minnesota Beef Council. This award will not only allow us to build retail beef sales, but also will enhance our custom harvest beef business. Additionally, this award will allow us to further enhance our relationships with our local farmers, as well as communities in Minnesota," said Kelly Gall Washa, owner of Grand Champion Meats.
