R ichard McGinnis laughed when asked how celebrating the 25th anniversary of his business made him feel. "Old," he joked. "But, it makes me feel great that we've been going this long and we're going to keep it going for a while." Last week Richard celebrated 25 years of providing quality meats, meals and customer service at Richard's Country Meat Market in Fayetteville. Richard thinks his secret to success is simple. He doesn't pay anyone to do the work that he can himself, and it's his commitment to quality products and customer service. While Richard's has been around more than a quarter of a century, one of his successful ventures is relatively new. About a year and half ago he and his crew started preparing "Simple Suppers." "Simple Suppers are doing great," he said. "There are three different meals every week. We advertise them on Facebook. Customers can come in, pick them up, take home and microwave them. They are fully cooked, frozen in take home microwavable containers. When you are busy, it's a great meal for $5." On the menu The variety of Simple Suppers on Richard's take home menu is wide. "We have a chicken strips with mac and cheese," he said. "We have beef brisket with roasted potato and baked beans. We have an enchilada dinner with beans and rice; spaghetti and meatballs with green beans. We have lasagna with green beans and we have a pork chop with rice and broccoli. They all are fully cooked and package in individual servings." Richard said to follow them on Facebook to find out what Simple Suppers are being featured each week. But, he pointed out, if you want a meal that has recently been featured, don't hesitate to ask. They might have some frozen away.
