1. Haley's Meat Market Marker
In 1951, Charles A. Haley (1917-2009) purchased an existing food locker plant on South Texas Street and opened for business. In the original layout, the processing floor occupied the back of the building, with meat lockers and offices in the middle and a meat marker in front. The business grew rapidly and 10,000 square feet were added to expand the processing floor. Delivery routes were established to Azle, Lake Worth and Alvarado. The store sold 5,000 pounds of wholesale meat per day in addition to retail meat. The Haleys retired in 1984. A former meat market employee ran the business as Crowley Food Locker. The processing floor was later remodeled for office space.
