In 2011, Waqas Keen and his family opened Marietta Halal Meat with a simple dream — to bring fresh, authentic halal meats to the Marietta community. Starting out as a small butcher shop, the focus was on quality, trust, and serving families with goat, beef, chicken, and lamb that met the highest halal standards.

As the years passed, Marietta Halal Meat grew beyond just a butcher shop. By the mid-2010s, the store had expanded to include groceries, spices, and everyday essentials, becoming a one-stop shop for families in the area. The Keen family worked hard to ensure every customer felt welcome, and the store became known not only for fresh halal meat but also for variety and reliability.
