West River Meats to re-open in Rutland
After a five-year absence a new meat locker is under construction in Rutland.
A fire destroyed Thul’s West River Meats on Feb. 22, 2015. It didn’t work out for owners Don and Michelle Thul to rebuild at that time. Instead, they built a 24’ by 40’ building a block east for his catering business, Thul’s West River Catering.
At Rutland, a 60’ by 40’ addition is now being built on to the catering building, and the entire site will become West River Meats. The cement floor was poured on Nov. 19, and Thul is hoping to open around Jan. 1. See the rest of the story in this week's Humboldt Independent.
