Former Dukes’ Meat House Kinston, Alabama A rare opportunity to own a piece of south Alabama food history. The former Dukes’ Meat House sits along State Highway 52 in Kinston, a community once known as “Cross Trails” — a fitting name for a property with road frontage on two sides and visibility to both local and beach-bound traffic. For decades, Dukes’ Meat House was known as a local stop for meats, processing, and small-town service. Now this property is ready for a new owner with vision — someone who sees the growing demand for locally sourced meats, farm-to-table retail, custom processing, smokehouse concepts, specialty food, hunting-season processing, or a direct-to-consumer farm store. This is more than an old commercial building. It is an opportunity to revive a name people remember and build a business around what families are looking for again: real food, local relationships, and a place they can trust. The property also offers space for a home, making it a strong fit for an owner-operator who wants to live near the business, serve local farmers and families, and bring new life to a proven location. Possible uses may include butcher shop, meat processing, farm store, smokehouse, specialty grocery, homestead-based business, or rural commercial redevelopment. Buyer to verify zoning, permitted uses, licensing, utilities, equipment condition, and all business requirements. Property features over two acres and a well.
