August 1, 1958, brothers Bob and Earl Green opened B & E Meats in Burien. At the time, there were probably 6 – 8 meat markets in Burien alone. With hard work and youthful charm and energy, they quickly built a thriving business. April 1, 1975, Bob and Earl purchased an existing market (Ranch House Meats) in Des Moines and opened their second location, B & E Meats and Seafood. Although things started out slow, things did pick up and soon B & E became a landmark and one of Des Moines oldest and best known businesses. April 1, 1999, after nearly 40 successful years in the meat business, Bob and Earl retired. But the two markets stayed in the family and are now owned by Bob’s son and daughter-in-law, Jeff and Trisha Green. The business has continued to grow thanks to friendly staff and high quality, unique products. As you can see, April Fool’s Day is a lucky and prosperous day for the Green family. Great things happen on that day! In 2004, Jeff and Trisha purchased the neighboring building in Burien – the old Gastro’s Deli. Just before Christmas that year, after totally remodeling the building, B & E moved one half block north into a new, beautiful store. With twice the size of the old store, they now can offer a much larger selection and ample parking for all their wonderful customers. B & E Meats and Seafood continues to serve the northwest with the highest quality meats, the freshest seafood including Copper River Salmon, and outstanding marinated products such as Teriyaki Beef Tri-tips, Kalbi Marinated Beef Ribs, Award Winning Beef Jerky, and always delicious Smoked Salmon Candy. On August 2008, B & E celebrated 50 years in business, having fun and serving great meats along with great smiles. We look forward to another 50 years with the start of our internet store. On April 1, 2010 B & E Opened their 3rd location. 35522 21st Ave. S.W Federal Way, WA 98023 and on September 20, 2013 their 4th location. 13024 Newcastle Way Newcastle, Washington 98059 to better serve all you wonderful people.
