Loris Cold Storage and Retail

Loris Cold Storage and Retail operates at 2371 Main Street in Loris, South Carolina, in Horry County. The plant holds federal establishment numbers M33916 and P33916 and is listed by USDA FSIS for meat slaughter and meat processing, with a grant of inspection date on file of December 17, 2013. FSIS classifies the establishment as very small and places its slaughter volume in the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year. Cattle and hogs are the species reported as slaughtered under inspection.

The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales, which is consistent with a counter selling meat directly to households. A directory listing gives a founding year of 1967, which predates the current grant of inspection on file with FSIS. The listed website is a Facebook page, and no website text was available for this record.

Details beyond the federal record and basic directory listings are not yet on file. Specific cuts, bundle offerings, scheduling practices, fees, and hours have not been verified for this profile. Callers can reach the plant at (843) 756-1741.

The plant is listed with FSIS for both meat slaughter and meat processing, and reports custom-exempt slaughter for animals owned by the customer, with packages marked Not for Sale. Cattle and hogs are the species reported as slaughtered under inspection. FSIS places the establishment in the lowest slaughter volume category, under 1,000 head per year, and classifies it as very small, so scheduling capacity is likely limited. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees, cut and wrap charges, and hanging weight terms are not stated in the sources on file. Farmers should call (843) 756-1741 to confirm what the plant handles and whether dates are available.

Loris Cold Storage and Retail reports custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, which means it can process an animal a customer already owns (a whole, half, or share bought before slaughter) and return it in packages marked Not for Sale. Most small farms have one or two plants they book with, and the plant's calendar decides the delivery date.

The establishment reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS and is listed in business directories under butcher shop, which indicates meat sold directly to customers at this location. The specific products, cuts, bundles, halves or quarters, delivery, shipping, and online ordering options are not described in any source on file. Buyers should contact the plant directly at (843) 756-1741 or check its Facebook page for current offerings.
