The Local General Store

Jason Chow didn’t intend to become a butcher. In fact, he went to school for marine biology. Things changed, however, when he couldn’t find any local beef or steaks from Hawaiian ranches at the grocery store. He better change, he thought. The rest, as they say, is history.

Jason and his wife Harley opened The Local General Store in Honolulu, Hawai’i just over a year ago. The half butcher shop, half bakery model has been a hit with consumers. Working exclusively with local farmers and ranchers, like Griffith Livestock, The Local General Store is a place you go for quality beef, delicious sandwiches, pastries and a local shopping experience you can’t find everywhere.
