Tiny Grocer, the specialty grocery from Steph Steele, is preparing to expand to a third location. This time, it’s taking over the space formerly occupied by Longhorn Meat Market, at 2411 E Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
Accordingly, the new Tiny Butcher will “lean into its carnivorous side,” says coverage by Hoodline published last month, “with a full butcher-counter, an in-house barbecue program, and enough room to scale the concept into 2026.”
Coming in at 3,500 square feet, it will be Tiny Grocer’s least tiny location yet. With a “meat program… led by a Michelin-recognized consultant,” Tiny Grocer will bake bread in-house and “put a strong emphasis on meats and barbecue in an effort to honor the butcher shop that came before it.”
With these new changes, and the larger footprint, Hoodline calls it more of an “industrial-style deli and smokehouse” model, in contrast to its usual “curated retail” approach.
“Tiny Grocer is established with passion and excitement around great products,” says the Tiny Grocer website. “We revere the farmers and artisan producers that have heeded the call to go back to the land. We strive to create a win-win-win partnership between the farmer/producer, us (the retailer), and you – our friends, our community, our customers. We will make, in house, excellent food using the ingredients and staples that we sell. Good, healthy food can be easily picked up for any meal of the day.”
