Celebrating Everett\u2019s Foods<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Everett\u2019s is a full-service UFCW Local 663<\/a> meat shop in South Minneapolis with a variety of Everett’s products on site. For example, they make: meatloaf, bologna, jerky, beef sticks, old-fashioned wieners, polish sausage and ring-bologna. This shop is run by Jack and his daughter Nancy Klatke, who has worked together with her father for the past 40 years. The entire team at Everett\u2019s enjoy making customers feel like they are a part of their family too.<\/p>\n

Back in 1956, Jack Pflepson purchased Everett\u2019s Foods<\/a> from Everett Byrd. Jack, a Korean War veteran, decided to leave the name of \u201cEverett\u2019s\u201d as is and he continues to serve the patrons of South Minneapolis to this day.<\/p>\n

Happy Birthday Jack<\/h3>\n

Jack is turning 90 years young<\/strong> in June and he continues to provide excellent service and products to the community. He has developed great relationships with so many families over the years. Through his knowledge of cutting meat and providing the ultimate shopping experience for his customers, he has trained employees and many of them work their entire career for Everett’s.<\/p>\n

Union Family<\/h3>\n

Evan, UFCW Local 663 member and co-meat manager says this about Jack, \u201cWorking with Jack is working with family to me. He has known me half my life and I have learned so much from him. Just seeing him working makes it worth it!\u201d\"\"<\/p>\n

Harrison, another UFCW 663 member and meat cutter on staff, says, \u201cThe best part of working with Jack is getting insight into different ways to accomplish aspects of the job.\u00a0 I\u2019ve worked with several meat cutters, but to be able to consult a 63-year veteran, is a true joy and a very special privilege.\u201d Harrison also reflected on his time with UFCW Local 663. \u201cJoining a Union with decades of service makes me feel a part of something that has a history of supporting labor workers. I\u2019m happy to now be included in that history!<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

Happy Birthday, Jack!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
