Binkert's is back in business!

The wait is finally over. We obtained the necessary approval from our health and safety inspectors Friday morning [10/10/08], and we were able to open our doors once again. We are now back to our normal business hours, and welcome you to come by for all of your favorite Binkert's meat products and to see our newly restored storefront. Another bit of good news is being awarded City Paper Best of Baltimore 2008 for Best Sausage. To top it all off you can look forward to a Grand Re-Opening party planned for later in November to celebrate the completion of the restoration, and to thank all of our many loyal customers for supporting us through this difficult time.

It was the first day for the wholesale delivery of sausages, hot dogs and cold cuts since early August, when an electrical fire and subsequent water damage put this Golden Ring business out of commission. Production stopped, threatening to take the taste out of local Oktoberfest celebrations.

Its retail shop opens today - so that this component of a venerable Baltimore niche market will be well-fed and satisfied.

In case you didn't already know the tragic story:

On Monday, August 4, Binkert's experienced an electrical fire that started above a freezer in our production area and spread itself in the attic. The fire damage to the roof, and the water damage to the interior of our building from extinguishing the fire forced us to shut down production and close our strorefront for two months.
