STORY
Our

Julie Hack-Hubbard and David Hubbard
met while working in fine dining restaurants. They each had
a drive and entrepreneurial spirit that they recognized
in one another, along with a similar dream of opening
a business that specialized in elevating food.
The Hubbards created their concept for The Butchery
and opened in 2017
, but their journey took some time.
“We have a lot of family entrpreneurs who offered advice
and encouragement, but banks don’t just hand out cash,”
Julie said. “It’s daunting to go to in and sell a stranger
on your dream. My uncle Paul is a former president of
Hebrew Free Loan, and he told us their Marvin I.
Danto Small Business Loan Program was a
good resource. He was right, it was amazing. HFL saw
us as people, and the passion we brought to our idea.
They listened, questioned, and their care for us didn’t
end with the loan. They connected us with a mentor, they
check in on us, they shop here, and treat us like family.
We feel the community cares about how we’re doing.”
The Butchery offers high-end meats and meal prepa-
ration items unavailable in grocery stores. 
“I’ve worked in a lot of kitchens, and fine dining is
a completely separate style,” said David. “It isn’t just a
change in preparing and serving, you pay attention to
the quality of the food, its origins, and how it’s ordered.
We had an uptick in foot traffic during the pandemic,
because our supply is restaurant-quality, and we carried
what the shops didn’t.”
“Our customers are offered a new-school approach
with an old-school butcher shop feel – personal and
friendly,” Julie said. “Hebrew Free Loan helped us get
here, enjoy what we do, and even think about what the
next chapter in our business could be.”
