Our Story
Quality Meats, Unbeatable Service: Your Neighborhood's Best-Kept Secret
Nestled in the heart of Temple, Texas, stands a bustling hub of community life known as Kerley's Market. Its story began in the distant echoes of 1890, when it first opened its doors, beckoning locals with promises of quality goods and friendly faces.
Over the decades, Kerley's evolved, adapting to the changing times while staying true to its roots. In 1954, it proudly bore the name Kerley's Meat Market, a testament to its dedication to providing the finest cuts to its patrons. Then, in 1970, the torch passed to the Williams-Talasek family, who infused the market with their own brand of warmth and hospitality.
Today, under the stewardship of Lynette Talasek, Kerley's Market remains a beacon of tradition and community spirit. Step through its doors, and you'll find more than just groceries—you'll discover a treasure trove of flavors, from flavorful spices to homemade delights.
But Kerley's isn't just a place to shop—it's a place to connect. Here, neighbors greet each other with a smile, and the aroma of sizzling lunch specials floats through the air, drawing in hungry souls from all corners of town.
Whether you're seeking the perfect cut of meat for tonight's dinner or simply craving a taste of home, Kerley's Market is here for you, day in and day out. Because for us, being the local market isn't just a title—it's a way of life.
Welcome to Kerley's, where every visit feels like coming home.
