Strip District Meats on Penn Avenue. The full service butcher shop is reopening on Thursday.

Strip District Meats, which bills itself as a “full-service butcher shop,” is reopening July 16.

The announcement was made on its Facebook page: “Pittsburgh’s favorite butcher is back, and cleaner than ever! See yinz Thursday.”

The butcher shop at 2123 Penn Ave. announced July 7 that it was closing temporarily after an employee tested positive for covid-19.

It said then it would be using the time to sanitize the store, safely store products and give its team time to evaluate their health and status.

Strip District Meats has been family owned and operated for over 65 years and claims to have the largest exotic meat selection in Pittsburgh, along with “a complete line of beef, pork, chicken, lamb and veal.”

Raymond and Gloria Turkas started the business as Farmer’s Choice Poultry in 1952.
