Gordon's Butcher & Market Offers Erie Boxes for the Holidays

A local company is selling a taste of Erie for the holidays, and business is booming.

Gordon's Butcher and Market sells Erie boxes year-round, offering local staples like Smith's Ox Roast and hot dogs, Staganelli's pepperoni balls and Stefanelli's sponge candy. But sales surge during the holiday season.

So far, the company has sold around 2,000 boxes.

"There's a lot of people that grow up in Erie, and they're either displaced themselves or they have a loved one or child that don't live here anymore. Those four things are Erie staples and you can't get them anywhere else so that was kind of the idea behind it," said owner Kyle Bohrer. "You can't go into a Costco in Florida and pick up a jar of ox roast it just doesn't happen."

A small Erie boxes sells for $59, and a large, which is twice the size, goes for $99.
