When Charlie Dickman founded Charlie’s Pride Meats in 1969, the name was a reflection of his philosophy. He believed in creating a business he could be proud of, based on providing superior products and service at the very best price. By offering premium roast beef, corned beef, pastrami and other fine deli items that are exceptionally flavorful, tender and juicy, Charlie’s Pride has expanded the
award-winning business to gain nationwide sales and well-deserved customer loyalty. After many years of hard-won experience in learning the business, Charlie’s two sons, Robert and Jim, now serve as co-CEO's and are continuing to guide the company on this exciting and ongoing growth path. Now home to over 140 employees in two facilities totaling over 60,000 sq ft in Vernon, California, Charlie’s Pride has greatly expanded and updated its production and storage facilities, including the latest clean room technology to enhance food safety and prolong shelf life, all for the benefit of our customers, our extended family. Though Charlie’s Pride moves into the future with advances in technology, research and development to bring you the best in new and creative product ideas, we continue to prepare our meats with all the old-fashioned goodness you’ve come to love. We hand-select our meat cuts, cure them in our own unique blend of spices and prepare them fresh daily in our state-of-the-art smokehouses. And as an independent, family-owned and operated business with an emphasis on service, we offer the flexibility to customize any order to suit the particular needs of our customers, something that’s been lost elsewhere in today’s bottom-line-driven industry. What’s important to our customers is what’s important to us: superior products, outstanding variety, exceptional value and unparalleled service. And that’s something that will never change.
