10 YEARS

The Jerky Co was established in Perth, Western Australia, by founding directors Brandon, Claudio and Dino. Driven by a shared passion for crafting high-quality, locally produced and delicious premium air-dried meats, we set out to create a brand that would redefine the dried meat industry.

We opened our first retail kiosk in Ellenbrook Central Shopping Centre, followed by our Perth CBD flagship store, bringing premium air-dried meats closer to the local market. This year also marked the launch of our e-commerce website, making our products accessible nationwide. Additionally, we began our wholesaling journey, introducing a retail ready packaged range to select retail partners and expanding our reach across Australia.

Reaching a significant milestone, we expanded to over 10 locations, including an exclusive presence at Perth Airport, catering to local and travelling jerky customers.

Marking a major step in our national expansion, we entered the New South Wales market by opening our first kiosk in Australia’s most iconic shopping centre, Bondi Junction. This launch set the stage for further growth across New South Wales, establishing The Jerky Co in the Eastern States.

We achieved a defining milestone by winning the Champion Medal at the Perth Royal Food Awards for our latest creation, Great Southern Jerky. Alongside this prestigious recognition, we earned multiple gold, silver, and bronze medals for various flavours, showcasing our dedication to innovation and quality, further cementing us as market leaders.

Next stop, Victoria. We opened our first Victorian store at Cranbourne, putting The Jerky Co in three states, while four more stores opened across New South Wales and another in WA.

Celebrating a "Decade of Air-Dried Meats," we marked ten years of production with the completion of our state-of-the-art facility, built to keep up with growing demand for premium air-dried meats across Australia. 33 stores, three states and a whole lot of jerky later, we’re only just getting started.
