The newly opened Meat King store at Bank Colony, Dimapur is truly “A meat lover’s delight”. One is spoiled for choice the moment you walk into the store. A thoroughly modern meat shop, where juicy meat and meat products line the store in chillers, this store is all about food, quality, innovation and new ideas.
Their range of products includes fresh meat like Pork, Chicken, Mutton, Beef and Duck. Not forgetting smoked pork and beef, smoked innards. There is also a wide selection of frozen sea food, sausages, pickles etc. There is also a “My Nagaland” section where local made wine, spices and condiments, Naga style pickles etc are on sale. The store is also kept fully sterilized to maintain hygiene.
The scope of Meat King is not limited to fresh cuts but it incorporates processed meat products as well as a wide range of supermarket gourmet food products.
Meat King is run by entrepreneurs Mustaque Ahmed and Romeo Seth. The entrepreneurs have founded Meat King with the sole aim of providing customers meat and meat products of highest quality at par with international standards under hygienic conditions.
It’s just over a month since the Flagship store located at Bank Colony, Dimapur opened, but Meat King is already receiving rave reviews. The entrepreneurs are elated to this response because they quote they have invested a lot to give better meat quality and gourmet food products for the Naga consumers every day. They state, “A lot of our customers also appreciate the fact that we open full day on Sunday. We have families coming in and shopping leisurely on Sundays. We have left no stone unturned to make our store a likeable place. We have a ‘My Nagaland’ counter where we showcase and help sell locally made products like wine, pickles, dried herbs and other food stuffs.”
Meat King has further plans of store expansions with the northeastern states as priority followed by the metros but keeping the Nagaland store at its core.
As experienced entrepreneurs, Mustaque and Romeo offer some advice to aspiring entrepreneurs. They share, “We would like, especially the young entrepreneurs, to understand that one must possess ‘Dignity of Labour’ because you should be ready with the attitude that there is nothing too big or small.” They add, “Business is all about sacrifice. When you think of doing something never give up. It’s definitely not overnight success”.
