Nick's Meats

Business in Hayward, MN

Welcome to Nick’s, a Link with the Past!

When Nick and his wife Jeanne purchased their store in 1969, it had a modest meat department. Becoming more and more involved in the meat business over the years, they worked to make specialty smoked items, quality and service in fresh meat, and custom processing their specialties.

Nick’s long experience in sausage making began by learning curing and smoking techniques from an old German sausage meister. Nick’s Meat & Grocery was purchased by employees with over 20 years of experience at Nick’s. They’ll continue the history of products made with unique blends of spices, quality meats and careful preparation. Today you’ll find Ryan and Jessica (a new generation), behind the meat counter making their delicious products.

Dedication to quality is the tradition here at Nick’s. Testaments to quality are the record number of national and state awards for smoked meats Nick’s has won.
