History

Established in 2002.

After 38 years as a butcher for Giant Foods in Washington D. C area, Ralph Robinson retired and moved to Murrells Inlet. He and his wife Debbie opened Ralph’s Butcher Shop in 2002. After a few years of truly wanting to retire to playing golf every day, Ralph sold the shop. In January 2014, the business was purchased by Mark McKay, but Ralph can still be seen daily in the shop giving Mark a hand, and allowing Mark to benefit from his years of experience.
