Dear Porter’s Customers
We want to address some upcoming challenges with the nation’s meat supply. We hope that the following will serve to inform you, and not to cause you to panic. Porter’s primary goal — as it always has been — is to provide the communities we serve with the essentials they need for themselves and their loved ones.
Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the supply chain for most meat products, including beef, chicken, and pork, are facing challenges, specifically at the processing plants. Because several of these plants have been affected by the Coronavirus, some plants have had to close temporarily. The effect of these closures is starting to be felt by us at the retail level. Many of the orders we are placing are being allocated as our warehouse works hard to ensure the retail locations it serves can receive the product. Some meat products that we are used to receiving at a specific price point are increasing, some much greater than others. Porter’s will always strive to provide products to you at the best price possible — but please know we expect to see some pretty drastic increases in the coming days. This shortage in supply has the potential to affect the Weekly Ads that we just resumed this week.
This pandemic is a very fluid situation, and while we do not know precisely when supply will pick back up, we know that people working together for a common goal can accomplish great things. We remain hopeful that we will overcome this hurdle we are all facing together, and meat products will be more readily available soon.
To allow as many customers as possible to get the products they need, we will be implementing an item limit on meat products until further notice.
Sincerely, The Porter’s Team

I just started my 27th year in Big Bend. I want to thank God and all of my customers and the people from other countries for letting me serve them and for letting me live my dream of living in Big Bend. If it had not been for your support this would not have been possible. Thanks a lot. I wish for you to have the rest of your lives blessed. I am still doing inspections and some towing. Brandon Jones has leased my shop and tools and will be fixing flats and doing car and auto repair. 371-3990 home and 432-538-2375 mobile. Give him a call. I love you all and thanks again. Beechie
