AS one of the longest-standing independent butchers in Shepparton, Krueger’s Fine Meats and Smallgoods have cemented their reputation as the go-to for local foodies with their premium products and specialty items.
The team is led by married owners Emma and Martin Krueger who have proudly operated the business for the last 14 years.
Over a decade on, and the pair are committed to continuing to deliver the pristine quality the local butcher is known for.
They are a prime example of how teamwork and a drive to succeed can afford business owners the seemingly elusive work/life balance.
“Martin and I work together to raise our children and maintain the reputation our store upholds that we have worked so hard to achieve,” explained Emma.
We have a system in place, one week I’m mostly in the store then the next it’s Martin’s turn, so we both have the chance to spend quality time with the kids. Family is so important to us, and this is a routine that works for our business and lifestyle.”
Krueger’s Fine Meats and Smallgoods are all about excellent quality over quantity, and Emma has a message for other women thinking of taking a leap and starting a business specialising in something they are passionate about.
“Starting a business can be daunting but don’t hesitate, if you are passionate about something, go for it!”
