Traverse City, MI

Louie Alpers established Louie’s Meats in 1962 to provide custom meat processing services for local farmers and businesses. Over time, the company expanded to cater to restaurants, delis, and distributors across the state. In 1980, Louie’s started producing and selling corned beef under the O’Brien brand.

They continue to operate as a family-owned business, committed to delivering reliable service and top-notch products at their freshest. Their offerings are crafted using the finest USDA-inspected choice beef, and they adhere to full HACCP compliance.
