The new expansive warehouse for Evans Meats & Seafood in Birmingham.
Evans Meats & Seafood, a prominent meat and seafood provider, is making a significant move by relocating to a new 116,000-square-foot facility in Birmingham. This strategic location allows for operational expansion and is expected to create at least 20 new jobs by 2030. The company has a rich history since its founding in 1998 and aims to uphold its commitment to the community while providing high-quality products. Renovations for the new facility are set to begin soon, with plans to enhance the workspace dramatically, driving growth and efficiency.
Birmingham is buzzing with some thrilling news as Evans Meats & Seafood, a beloved meat, seafood, and specialty foods company, has officially announced its relocation to a stunning new headquarters! The company has purchased a sprawling 116,000-square-foot warehouse located at 2800 Messer Airport Highway, marking a significant step forward in their operations.
This relocation comes as no surprise, given the company’s consistent growth. They made the purchase back in September, and with a workforce that’s currently 135 strong, they are ready to spread their wings and prepare for an even bigger future. Evans Meats & Seafood has big plans on the horizon, with projections of adding at least 20 new jobs by 2030!
Founded in 1998 by J.T. “Butch” Evans Jr., this family-run business has remained steadfast in delivering high-quality products to restaurants and institutions all across the Southeastern United States. Now, with Butch’s three sons—Addam, Chase, and Hunter—at the helm, the company continues to uphold their father’s legacy while aiming for greater heights.
Before this new venture, Evans Meats & Seafood was operating out of a facility on 617 21st Ave W along Finley Boulevard. Despite multiple expansions over the years, they have officially outgrown that location, paving the way for this exciting new chapter.
The newly acquired warehouse, purchased for $2,625,000 from Billboard Fund 1, LLC and Good Things, LLC, is ideally situated close to downtown Birmingham. This strategic location, with easy access to major expressways, will enhance local deliveries and operational efficiency significantly.
The company has ambitious plans to renovate about 70,000 square feet of the new facility to ensure it meets both its current and future operational needs. With a targeted move-in date set for early spring 2026, the excitement in the air is palpable!
Evans Meats & Seafood is not just about delicious meats and seafood but also about giving back to the community. The company aims to contribute to Birmingham’s ongoing economic development as expressed by local city council members who have praised the company’s decision to expand within the city limits. Their focus on growing a collaborative relationship within the community reflects a strong commitment to being a part of Birmingham’s ongoing transformation.
In addition to servicing restaurants and institutions, Evans Meats & Seafood operates a direct-to-consumer retail store named The Son of the Butcher, located in the popular Pepper Place area. This retail operation allows citizens to enjoy high-quality meat and seafood directly from the source, and it further cements the company’s ties to the community.
As Evans Meats & Seafood gears up for this exciting relocation and expansion, the family is filled with hope and ambition. They not only aim to grow their workforce and operations but also to strengthen their connection to the city they love. With their move to a larger facility and plans for renovations, the future looks bright for both the company and Birmingham as they embark on this journey together.
