Kings Meats, a beloved butcher shop and specialty market in Diamond Springs, California, is expanding with a second location in El Dorado Hills Town Center. Owner Casey King confirmed plans to open the new 4,000-square-foot-plus shop in September 2026, offering an expanded selection of premium meats, cheeses, produce, and other gourmet items.

Why it matters

The expansion of Kings Meats into El Dorado Hills represents the continued growth of the family-owned business and its commitment to providing high-quality, locally sourced products to the surrounding communities. As an essential business that weathered the early pandemic challenges, Kings Meats has built a loyal customer base and reputation for excellence.

The details

The upcoming Kings Meats location will be situated just behind the OBO' restaurant in the Town Center development. The new shop will feature an even broader selection of premium meats, including Wagyu, dry-aged cuts, and upper-tier Choice beef, as well as an expanded specialty cheese program, to-go wine and beer options, and a more elevated 'steakhouse-quality' experience for customers.

  • Kings Meats launched its original Diamond Springs location on February 12, 2020, just one month before the COVID-19 pandemic began.
  • The new El Dorado Hills location is slated to open in September 2026.
