CONWAY — The former KFC on Route 16 in Conway is long gone, but there will soon be delicious chicken along with other quality meats at that location, as it is now the home to Kendra and Jason Veno’s soon-to-open Veno’s Specialty Foods and Meats Butcher Shop and Gourmet Food to Go.
Veno’s will be offering quality certified Angus beef, marinated steak tips, sirloin burger, all natural chicken, marinated chicken, chicken wings, turkey, slab bacon, lamb and pork.
