The History of Majestic Meat Co.

Family Owned and Locally Operated Since 1950

Located in South Salt Lake, Majestic Meat Co. is a family owned and run business. Beginning in the year 1950, under the name “Shelton’s Meat Company”, the business has had a long history of providing Utah’s restaurants with some of the finest meat available. In 1969, the name was changed to Majestic Meat Company. After much success and 67 years in the same location, Majestic Meat needed room for expansion. So, in November 2017, Majestic Meat moved into its current location.

Treating customers and staff like family is part of the culture at Majestic Meat. This has been fostered by strong leadership. Sheldon Burt and wife Sally Burt took the company over in 1987. This gave rise to what would turn into a true family owned and operated business. In 2004, the company was purchased by their son-in-law Raymond Zaelit. Raymond continues the tradition by working alongside his wife, Sheldon’s daughter, Jill Zaelit. Tyler Zaelit, son of Raymond and Jill has also joined the team, and up until 2016, three generations of the family worked within Majestic Meat.
We take great pride in our service and products. A close relationship with our clients is the only way we know how to operate. Unlike other large businesses, we prefer to know our customers individually. The personal touch allows us to provide honest business and trusted knowledge. This, along with exclusive and excellent products is what truly separates Majestic Meat from the competition. We have the pleasure of offering some of the highest quality meats and environmentally responsible products in the country. The relationship we share with our farms across the country gives Majestic Meat the unique ability to give our customers an experience unlike any other.
