Sixty Years of Family & Craft
Double J Meats was born in June of 1964 when Joe Fox and his partner Joe Bosley took over the old P&P Food Store on Pueblo's East Side. With both men sharing the same first name, "Double J" was a natural fit — and a name that has meant something to Pueblo families ever since.
Joe Fox got his start in the meat-cutting trade working in a Texas grocery store during high school. After serving in the U.S. Air Force and marrying a Pueblo girl, he came back to Colorado and found his calling. When he and Joe Bosley opened Double J, they had a simple philosophy: quality meat at honest prices, and treat every customer like a neighbor.
"I set a price with a certain amount to make money on, and if I find a deal, I pass it on to the customer. When you keep pricing fairly level, you keep your people steady."
— Joe Fox, founder
Over the decades, Double J welcomed partners Harry Johnson and Don Thornton, and every one of Joe's children worked behind the counter at some point. Today his son Justin Fox and daughter Nancy Frazier carry the tradition forward — with the whole Fox family behind them.
Supermarkets have come and gone. Big-box stores have changed how people shop. But Double J has never chased trends or cut corners. The same commitment to craft, community, and honest pricing that Joe Fox built in 1964 is alive and well today — wrapped in every package.
