LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF)- It’s grilling season in Campbell County and for 77 years now, Hollingsworth Meat Market has served up the freshest cuts of meat in the county and plans to continue that tradition, according to owner Darren Wilson.

The market offers a full line of freshly cut meat. Whether you need a thick three-inch steak of your choice, some freshly shaved deli meat or a 15-pound roast, Hollingsworth has it. What’s more important, the “meat guys” at Hollingsworth know how to cut it, so that you get the tenderest, choice cut of meat around. And people come from all around to buy their meat at Hollingsworth, which has built quite a reputation as THE place to get the best grilling steaks and hamburgers around.

“Our steaks are very popular; it’s all about the cut,” Wilson said, adding that their hamburger meat was also a local favorite. 

“Our beef is 100 percent natural with no preservatives or additives; we grind it fresh,” Wilson said.

The market purchases its produce from local farmers and growers, when possible, to offer the best local produce around. Hollingsworth is essentially a fully equipped neighborhood grocery store, with neighborhood grocery prices.

Hollingsworth was founded by Aubrey and Retha Hollingsworth in 1948. In 1979, Jimmy Chaniott purchased the business and operated it until March of 2014, when it was purchased by Wilson, who said he felt honored to be a part of a business with history like Hollingsworth’s.

“It’s the kind of place where you can know your butcher by name,” Wilson said.

He employs six butchers that together have 100 years of combined meat cutting experience.
