(Update: Adding video, comments from owner, customer.)

SISTERS, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Sisters Meat and Smokehouse is preparing to open a new Redmond location, at 308 SW Evergreen Avenue. A ribbon-cutting is planned for Friday, April 7th.

Sisters Meat and Smokehouse offers a variety of meats and sandwiches, as well as drinks, seafood and smoked cheeses.

Co-Owner Molly Wymer described the growing anticipation for the opening.

"Our phones are ringing, wanting to know when the stores open, you know," she said Wednesday. "And so we're just excited to meet the Redmond community and be a part of it."

Sisters Meat and Smokehouse opened seven years ago: equal parts restaurant, deli and smokehouse.

"We love being a part of Sisters and with covid and everything, I felt like the community even got closer because people did have to eat at home," Wymer said. "There weren't sit-in restaurants, (but) people could still actually get our sandwiches, and we were able to provide them our service by bringing their food to their car and that sort of thing.

A regular customer of Sisters Meat and Smokehouse, Ralph Salisbury, spoke about the consistency of the offerings.

"The quality of the of the product is superb, only surpassed by the staff," he said. "The customer service is wonderful, the selection is wonderful -- everybody in the community really adores this place,"

The Sisters location has five owners, each with specific skills to support the business. The Redmond location will be run by the children of one of the owners. Both trained in-house during college and completed a six-month store opening program.

"It's going to be basically everything we have here and Sisters, and then some," Wymer said. "It's really great to see to see the local faces on a weekly basis in Redmond. It really opens people up to be able to get our product easier through shipping and delivery and that sort of thing."

The grand opening in Redmond will start at 11a.m on April 7th. 

"We just we want to welcome everybody in the Redmond community, to come down and see what we're all about." Wymer said.
