Owned by Ernesto Figueroa, the market stands out for its whole-animal butchery and custom cuts, offering fresh beef, pork, lamb, chicken, premium steaks, and personalized service based on each customer\u2019s needs. Ernesto first approached RISBDC for help with financing, and that support expanded to include guidance on food retail licensing, municipal permitting, inspections, facility requirements, and opening preparation. Providence Center Director Yashwant Meghare worked closely with Ernesto throughout the process, including frequent site visits to help review progress and identify next steps. After a celebratory grand opening with local leaders, community partners, and a live broadcast from Poder 102.1 FM, Yashwant continued supporting Ernesto as he worked to obtain SNAP authorization and expand access for local families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">339 Broad St, Providence, Rhode Island, United States 02907 <strong>\u25cf <\/strong>+1 401-808-6531<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los Primos Meat Market opened at 339 Broad Street in Providence, bringing fresh meats, groceries, produce, and specialty food products to the local community.
