PROFILE |
 |
If you're looking for an elegant supermarket experience, better hit the trail for another store. Western Beef runs nearly 25 metropolitan New York City no-frills warehouse grocery stores, selling mostly meats and a limited selection of nonfood items, such as health and beauty aids. It purchases beef, pork, and poultry from major slaughterhouses for its stores (which account for more than 80% of sales), as well as wholesale customers in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Located in densely populated and culturally diverse neighborhoods, it caters to specific ethnic groups. In late 1999 the Castellana family, through Cactus Acquisition, bought the remaining 28% of Western Beef's shares it didn't already own.
