Major Markets Prime Meats in Coney Island was established in 1934.

Jimmy Prince started working for the #butcher shop in 1949 when it was one of 16 butcher shops 🐄🐖 along Mermaid Avenue. After owning the #meat market for over 50 years, Jimmy decided to retire in 2009 to spend more time with his family and also because he was on a month to month lease and expected that the building might be razed to make way for new development in the area. We loved its #signage with the marching majors on either side of the #lettering. We also loved the @steveespopowers #signage on the side of the #storefront.
