LAKEWAY, TEXAS, UNITED STATES, April 25, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Southern Steer Butcher confirmed its expansion into the Longhorn state today through a strategic franchise agreement with local ownership. The new entity, Southern Steer Butcher of Texas, will bring the Florida-based neighborhood butcher shop to Texas, with its first store opening this Summer in Lakeway, a suburb of Austin.

The new franchisee group is “excited to introduce Southern Steer’s modern-day butcher experience to communities throughout Texas, starting in Lakeway.”

In addition, the owner has named longtime food and beverage veteran, Chris Haydostian, as its new General Manager over the Texas expansion. Chris is a Master Certified Food Executive (MCFE) and has over twenty years of experience managing food and beverage operations in Texas, California, and Nevada.

“I am honored to join Southern Steer Butcher of Texas and work alongside its dedicated team,” said Chris Haydostian.

Southern Steer Butcher of Texas expects to open its first location in suburban Austin at 2300 Lohman’s Spur in Lakeway in June. Not only will they feature Southern Steer favorites like Argentine Steak Tips, custom-made sausages, take and bake sides, and select cuts, but they will also offer dry aging using Himalayan salt blocks, a first for the franchise.
