Exeter Meat House Moving to Stratham

The Meat House, which currently runs a counter inside , will close up shop next month and move to a full-service location in Stratham.

It's the latest expansion for the company, which opened its first store in Portsmouth in 2003. It now operates about 30 locations in ten states and has plans to open four new stores, according to its website.

The new Stratham store will be located at 28 Portsmouth Avenue at the site of an old Blockbuster store. It's expected to be open for business sometime in January.

In addition to meat, the Stratham store will offer fish, cheese, prepared foods, and bakery foods, among other items. It will feature more than 100 vendors – about half of which are tied to New England.

The company currently has five New Hampshire locations and two in Maine.
