History
Established in 2024.
The Blind Butcher Shoppe in Midtown Mobile, located at 1812 Old Shell Road, was opened in 2024 as a franchise of the original Lucedale, Mississippi, location founded by Bri Mixon in 2020. Inspired by the desire to bring high-quality, fresh meats and gourmet foods to Midtown, the shop was established by local owner Lenore Thomas, a former accountant turned entrepreneur. The store quickly gained community support, filling a gap for specialty meat markets in the area. It held a ribbon-cutting ceremony in 2024, joining the vibrant Midtown scene alongside popular eateries like Big Bad Breakfast and Dew Drop Inn. The franchise continues to grow, driven by its focus on family dining and premium, American-sourced products.
