New Leadership, Same Tradition
For over 85 years, Hackenmueller’s Meat Market has been more than just a butcher shop – it’s been a cornerstone of the Robbinsdale community and a trusted name throughout the Twin Cities. Today, we’re excited to share news about an important transition that honors our past while embracing our future. and come see why we are called the best butcher shop in Robbinsdale
Honoring a Legacy of Excellence
When Gordy Lindenfelser took over Hackenmueller’s more than 30 years ago, he didn’t just buy a business; he inherited the responsibility to preserve something special. Under his dedicated leadership, Hackenmueller’s flourished, becoming known throughout the Twin Cities for its unwavering commitment to quality and old-fashioned service. Gordy’s passion for the craft of butchering and his genuine care for every customer who walked through our doors helped cement our reputation as more than just a meat market. We became THE best butcher shop in Robbinsdale.
During his tenure, Gordy maintained the exacting standards that made Hackenmueller’s famous. He ensured that every cut of meat met our rigorous quality standards, that our bacon continued to be the talk of the town (we still sell between 700 and 800 pounds every week!), and that the personal service our customers expect remained at the heart of everything we do. His dedication to the community was evident in his service as grand marshal during local festival celebrations and his active involvement with the Robbinsdale Chamber of Commerce.
A Seamless Transition Built on Shared Values
As Ande and Dustan steps into this leadership role, the commitment to excellence that has defined Hackenmueller’s for more than eight decades remains unchanged. Like Gordy before them, Ande and Dustan understands that taking over Hackenmueller’s isn’t just about running a business – it’s about being a steward of tradition and a servant to the community.
“The trust that customers have placed in Hackenmueller’s for 85 years is something I don’t take lightly,” says Ande St Michael. “My goal is to honor the incredible foundation that has been built here while ensuring that future generations can continue to rely on us for the same quality and service that their grandparents did.”, says Dustan Posche.
This transition represents more than a change in ownership, it’s the new owners promise for a renewal of our commitment to the values that have made Hackenmueller’s special. The same skilled butchers who have been crafting perfect cuts for years will continue their work. The same attention to detail that goes into selecting our products will remain our standard. The same friendly faces that greet you when you walk through our doors will be here to serve you. The same recipes that have been feeding families for generations are not changing.
Preserving What Makes Us Special
What sets Hackenmueller’s apart isn’t just our longevity; it’s our unwavering dedication to doing things the right way. In an era of mass production and corner-cutting, we continue to believe in the value of traditional butchering methods. Our meats are hand-cut by skilled craftsmen who learned their trade from the generation before them. We source our products from trusted local suppliers who share our commitment to quality. We take the time to get to know our customers and understand their needs.
These aren’t just business practices – they’re the principles that define who we are. Under new leadership, these principles will continue to guide every decision we make. Whether you’re a longtime customer who has been shopping with us for decades or someone discovering us for the first time, you can count on the same level of quality and service that has made Hackenmueller’s a Twin Cities tradition.
Looking Forward While Honoring the Past
As we embark on this new chapter, we’re excited about the opportunities ahead while remaining firmly rooted in the traditions that have served us well. We’ll continue to be active members of the Robbinsdale community, supporting local charities and participating in the events that bring our neighbors together. We’ll maintain our involvement with the Chamber of Commerce and look for new ways to contribute to the economic vitality of our area.
We’re also committed to preserving the personal relationships that have always been at the heart of our business.
