Spring Valley butchery opens third location ahead of holiday rush

Featherblade Craft Butchery has opened its third location in Spring Valley, and the shop is now taking preorders for Thanksgiving and Christmas meals.

Owner Martin Kirrane, a London native, started the business with a vision for a small, three-employee shop modeled on English butcheries like C. Lidgate. He opened the first Featherblade on West Charleston Boulevard in 2021. A second location opened in Centennial Hills in 2025. The new southwest store at 5130 S. Fort Apache Road opened in June 2026.

Kirrane said the company's employee count has grown to 20, a number he attributes to rising demand for his sourcing method. He maintains relationships with specific farms and says if a product is not from one of those farms, the shop will not carry it.

The holiday menu includes boneless, bacon-wrapped turkey breasts for Thanksgiving. These cuts range in weight from 2 to 8 pounds. Customers can add one of five stuffing options, including sage and onion, apple and thyme, and cranberry and orange. For Christmas, the shop offers beef Wellington, which Kirrane describes as a specialty he brought from England. The dish consists of filet wrapped in mushroom duxelles, prosciutto, and pastry. Kirrane recommends ordering between a half and three-quarters of a pound of meat per person.

The store also offers experimental meats such as snake, ostrich, and alligator. Kirrane says the shop focuses on customer service, noting that a butcher's goal is to sell the best cut for the job rather than the most expensive one. The shop sells sausages for $8 per pound, including varieties with Hot Italian and pumpkin flavoring.

Customers can place Thanksgiving preorders through November 21. Christmas preorders are open through December 18. The Spring Valley store is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The other two locations are at 8550 W. Charleston Blvd. and 7575 Norman Rockwell Lane.
