had to do that to stay in busi-

Loewenstein Poultry is riding
a national consumer trend. More
Americans are eating turkey —
close to 18 pounds per person per
year, according to the U.S. De-
partment of Agriculture.
Nationally, Americans con-
sume 68 million turkeys during
Thanksgiving and Christmas.
It is becoming more socially ac-
ceptable for companies to give a
turkey instead of alcohol or cash
to employees or valued clients.
"Turkeys are big, but they
don't cost a lot," says Mr. Loewen-
stein. "And they give the people
you send them to something they
can take home and share with
their family. The turkey serves
as the centerpiece of a holiday
meal."
During quieter times, Loewen-
stein Poultry also owns and runs
Michigan Cold Storage in Taylor
and acts as a food broker for two
Fortune 500 food companies, as
well as other food manufacturers
and poultry processors.
The 1994 holiday season al-
ready is stacking up to be a good
one in what Mr. Loewenstein
says is largely a recession-proof
business. Companies give gift
turkeys in both good and bad eco-
nomic times, he says.
Loewenstein Poultry plans to
expand, branching out further
into the Midwest, Pennsylvania
and New England and Canada
in the coming years.
The family would like to see
the company prosper into its sec-
ond century with Loewensteins
still at the helm.
"I would love to see my son get
in the business," says Ms.
Loewenstein Roberts. "I've had
such a wonderful experience."
