Meat Products are sold in different kinds of stores. A butcher specializes in the preparation and sale of meat. Butchers sometimes operate specialized shops selling meat like slaughter house, butcher's shops, meat stores, meat markets or butcheries. Meat may also be sold in supermarkets, grocery stores, and fish markets, and these shops may employ a butcher. A slaughterhouse or abattoir is a facility that specializes in killing animals for meat.

Some markets include London meat markets, Leadenhall Market, Smithfield Market (began as a livestock market, but became a meat, poultry and fish market), Melbourne, Metropolitan Meat Market, Queen Victoria Market, Plaza Juan Ponce de León meat market, Puerto Rico, The Shambles (Medieval meat markets in York, Stroud and Shepton Mallet)
