Beograd: the Original Store
In 1984, Dragan Kecman, who arrived in Chicago from Serbia ten years earlier, had a major event occur. Together with his family, they were to built one of the most successful ethnic businesses outside – at that time Yugoslavia. Beograd Meat Market started as a true neighborhood store, focused on the best Serbian foods, the freshest meats and produce, and service that i
ncluded interacting with customers on a first name basis. Growing
In 2002, Dusko Pavlovic, along with his family, became a new owner. His following years were hard in terms of maintaining the quality and service the customers expected. Hard work and effort opened new chapter for the young owners; with new business units: Beograd Bakery and Sweet Shop, House of Crepes, Restaurant and Café, Catering, and Online Shopping, we became a leader in a specialty food industry. We are proud to be mentioned by numerous newspapers and magazines, TV stations, websites, and media outlets, including Check! Please, ABC7, CBS2, WGN, Time Out Chicago, The Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, The Chicagoist, and many more. Good Neighborhood Policy
Beograd Company places a high priority of being responsible part of its Chicagoland community. It is a major contributor to the different organizations and people in need – all for a good cause.
