Cooking fresh, wholesome meals at home is certainly expensive and time consuming. It can also be frustrating if you are not particularly skilled in cooking. Buying all those fresh ingredients you only need a little of can also be wasteful. Many of you have children, and when are they giving you the time to carefully craft a healthy dinner?! So with all this working against you, how can normal peop

le eat better? At Primal Gourmet, we believe in the following things:

1) High Quality Fresh Meats and Seafood
2) Fresh, Seasonal Fruits and Vegetables
3) Locally Sourced Products and Services
4) Being A Part of Our Community
5) Promoting Healthy Eating Habits

Based on these five things, we want to provide a top notch service to you offering delicious prepared food items and "heat-n-eat" pre-portioned meals. Every component is made in house so we can prepare items that are free of processed sugar and gluten. You can enter our store and choose from an ever changing variety of ready-to-eat refrigerated items sold by volume. Heat up the items to be served warm and your meal is ready, simple as that. You can also sign up to receive pre-portioned, never frozen individual meals for up to a week at a time. Our meals will be perfect for generally healthy eaters, Crossfit athletes, Weight Watchers participants, diabetics, elderly folks that are not able to cook, and everyone else that simply does not have time to cook! Most importantly, we want to make our products AFFORDABLE! Making our products available to more people by keeping our costs down is one of our top goals. A sample of what some of our meals might look like is below.

-Mesquite grilled chicken tenderloins with roasted garlic barbecue glaze, served with pumpkin spice roasted sweet potato chunks and collard greens

-PG's Shrimp and Grits: White shrimp, chicken sausage, peppers, onions, and grape tomatoes sauteed together with Cajun spices and served over Anson Mills rice grits

-Rotisserie grilled pork tenderloin medallions with a caramelized shallot blackberry glaze, brown rice pilaf with apples and cranberries, chicken braised baby kale

🚨 A LETTER FROM OUR OWNER 🚨

First and foremost, I want to say THANK YOU to all our customers, past and present. Each one of you made a choice to let us be your source for healthy, locally focused prepared foods. While there are always other options, you chose to spend your money with us and that is one of the greatest compliments I can think of. Frankly, developing Primal Gourmet and being its owner is the greatest achievement of my life. This company has given me so much regarding innumerable new friends and good lifelong memories in the more than six years I’ve been at this helm.

Today I have the unfortunate task of announcing that the operations of Primal Gourmet (PRIMAL) will be shutting down effective immediately. There will be no meal packs for this week or moving forward. If you are one of the few that had an order process for this week before we shut the ordering platform down, you have a refund already processed automatically and should see that confirmed in your account very soon. The market operations will remain open Monday, April 4th for normal hours or until product has sold out. There will be a discount of 30% applied to any purchase of all PG market items for this day only.

I would like to make this next statement in all caps so no one can miss it or mistake it. THE BUSINESSES THAT HAVE MOVED INTO THE FACILITY WILL REMAIN OPEN!!!! BRICKHOUSE GOURMET COFFEE AND TEAS, AND DORSIA PASTA CO. ARE BOTH STILL OPERATING AND OPEN FOR BUSINESS. THERE ARE MORE NEW BUSINESSES MOVING IN AS WELL!!! So while Primal Gourmet will no longer be open at 725 Meeting Street, the market will still remain as what I’m calling a “Collaborative Market”. Other new businesses will be opening soon as well. I am proud to say what comes after Primal Gourmet could be even better that what we accomplished! Once we have our new residents in place, we will be introducing a name change for the market and a Grand Opening!

I am sure you want to know the reason we are closing operations after six great years. As you can imagine, it’s not just one issue. It’s many, many problems that became too complex and daunting to overcome. If anyone is to blame for the situation we found ourselves in, of course that person is me. While I consider myself an expert in foodservice operations, this was my first time ever owning a business. Let me tell you, I learned more than I ever realized there was to know about being a business owner and still didn’t learn enough. Luckily though, I got to lead an incredible staff. We have been fortunate enough to employ without a doubt the best group of humans that ever ran a foodservice establishment. I mean that. If I had a nickel for every time someone complimented me on my team, I wouldn’t have any problems today. That I can tell you.

In closing, I want to thank you all again for all the support you showed us in these last six years. We were proud of our little community and being able to support all things local in ways no one else could. We made a difference in other people’s lives because you were our customers and supported what we did. Never stop doing that for the other local guys. Keep coming to see our friends at the market, they make really good stuff!

With Gratitude,

Greg H. Martin
