From Uncle Buck's to SNAC

Five moments that took a West Edmonton smokehouse to a family shop in Fort Saskatchewan.

  1. 2003

    Uncle Buck's Smokehouse Jerky

    We opened in West Edmonton as Uncle Buck's Smokehouse Jerky, selling our Regular Beef Jerky to a small list of clientele.

  2. 2005

    First markets

    We started selling at the Superflea Market on 111 Avenue, then set up at the second 50 Street Market location in early 2006.

  3. 2007

    Teriyaki and BBQ Pepper

    New flavours arrived as we grew into more markets, trade shows and big events: K-Days, the Rodeo, Farm Fair. Many of the Taber Corn trucks carried our jerky too.

  4. 2013

    Home in Fort Saskatchewan

    We closed the west-end shop in late 2012 and reopened in Fort Saskatchewan in early 2013, adding Cajun, Honey Garlic and Sweet n' Spice.

  5. 2018

    SNAC Jerky

    We officially became SNAC Jerky, named for Scott, Noel and Alex Curtis, and introduced Bacon and Xtreme Hot.
