Longtime fresh meat, seafood and specialty foods company Evans Meats & Seafood has a new home in Birmingham. In September, the company purchased the 116,000-square-foot warehouse at 2800 Messer Airport Highway to house its growing workforce and invest in the next generation.

If you’ve ever eaten at a restaurant in Birmingham, odds are your meal included products from Evans Meats & Seafood.
The regional distributor services restaurants and institutions across the Southeast, and operates direct-to-consumer meat and seafood storefront The Son of the Butcher in Pepper Place.
The company was founded in 1998 by J.T. “Butch” Evans Jr.—the “Evans” in Evans Meats & Seafood and the “Butch” in The Son of a Butcher. Today, the business is run by his three sons:
- Addam Evans — President
- Chase Evans — Vice-President
- Hunter Evans — Director of Operations
