The Beef Jerky Outlet is the world's first national beef jerky franchise. The company has six founder-owned stores, 40 franchise stores, and in the next 18 months, will see more than 100 locations open across the U.S. The Beef Jerky Outlet specializes in more than 200 jerky varieties and sizes including kangaroo, alligator, venison and elk with exotic flavors ranging from Moonshine to Cajun. The dried, smoked meat has traditionally been the #1 favorite snack of the military and, for years, NASA has sent jerky up to the astronauts in space. According toIRI, a Chicago-based market research firm, sales of beef jerky jumped 46 percent from 2009 to 2014 catapulting it to a $1.24 billion industry as gourmands throughout the country continue to discover the exotic tastes and benefits of cured, dried meat snacks. Teri Corbett, owner of The Beef Jerky Outlet, and her husband, Frank Murru, are no strangers to the jerky business. Both are wellness enthusiasts and credit the tasty snack with helping to maintain a healthy lifestyle. "Beef jerky is the latest food craze with Americans craving lean, high protein, low fat and calorie snacks,” said Corbett. "We are really looking forward to providing a new and different spin on the popular snack that we hope Waterford Lakes Town Center shoppers will embrace.” For the meat lover in all of us and a jerky aficionado's paradise, this small shop will turn heads with 35+ different kinds of jerky and a variety of spices, marinades and sauces!
