Year established: Late 1880s
Commendation: Generational, Gold and eligible for Silver this year
In the late 1880s, Bob Amott opened a butchers store at the Queen Victoria Market. Forty years later, his son Stan took over the business, who in turn passed it on to his son, Ross.
Having worked at the family butchers now for over 40 years, Ross has passed the store’s management on to his son, Michael, its fourth-generation owner. As Michael explains, there is a wide variety of people that come through the store each week – many of whom are repeat customers. Both he and his father are always pleased to see the same familiar faces back week after week.
Amott Quality Meats has become an institution at the Queen Vic Market, priding itself on fresh produce and friendly service.
