Behind the Business: The Blind Butcher
SUMMARY: In Pascagoula, Brie Mixon opened a gourmet butcher shop during the pandemic, aiming to provide quality food options in a small town where restaurants were closed. With no prior experience in business, she embraced the challenge, driven by her love for food and gourmet dining. The shop offers a variety of fresh meats, including beef, pork, and chicken, as well as signature dishes and stuffed items typically found in restaurants. Despite starting without a solid plan, Mixon’s venture has flourished over four years, leading to expansion into Mobile, and fulfilling a community demand for accessible, quality meals.
Four years after opening, the business has grown and now operates in Pascagoula, Lucedale, and soon Mobile, Ala.
