KP's Fine Meats owners have transformed a Port Richmond shop — the former home of Jim’s Meat Market — into a full-service butcher shop offering everything from tomahawk steaks and Wagyu beef to Dietz & Watson cold cuts.

. Business was buoyed by word of mouth and Instagram. Grady, who works full-time in business and marketing, nudged him to formalize his transactions.

When the Old City restaurant announced plans to reopen, Penney started searching for other cost-effective kitchen spaces to rent but came up short. Then his realtor told him about a storefront for sale at the corner of Memphis and Clearfield Streets — a five-minute drive from the couple’s apartment. When they first looked at the shop, passersby asked them if they were going to reopen the meat market, which had been operating as a bodega in recent years. They missed Jim’s, they said.

The couple took a word of advice from Jim Denning, who ran the shop for about 40 years: “Make sure you sell chip steak,” an essential for cheesesteaks. Penney cuts thin slices of inside round roast fresh every day for the chip steak, which sells for $9.99 a pound. KP’s also offers a “Philly-style special”: Chip steak, sliced cheese of your choice, and four hoagie rolls for $16.
