Laura’s Lean Beef Co. doesn’t belong to Laura anymore.
The Lexington company, founded in 1985 by Laura Freeman, has been sold to Colorado-based Meyer Natural Angus. The price was not disclosed.
“It’s not going to affect anything about our products … or how we do business,” said Chris Anderson, marketing director for Laura’s.
He said the company will continue to be based in Lexington and will operate somewhat independently of Meyer.
John Tobe, a former Jerrico executive and partner in the company with Freeman, will remain at Laura’s to oversee day-to-day operations.
Freeman will serve in a consulting capacity.
