Founded by Pasquale "Pat" Venezia, an Italian immigrant who arrived in the U.S. in 1905, Pat's American Butcher Shop in Scotch Plains, NJ, holds a rich history that began with a young boy's journey to a new land. Embracing the American spirit, Pat changed his name to Pat Venice upon settling in Kenilworth, NJ, where his entrepreneurial vision took root. With foresight, he invested in valuable land, setting the foundation for a family legacy that spans generations.
Through the hands of his sons and grandsons, the business evolved into a series of esteemed establishments, including Family Tree Meats, Nick's Meat Depot, and Nick's Catering & BBQ. Today, Pat's American Butcher Shop stands as a testament to Pat's enduring legacy, now operated by his grandsons Rick and Pat, alongside his great-grandson Nick. This butcher shop not only offers quality meats but also serves as a living tribute to a family's dedication to preserving a heritage of craftsmanship and community.
