This week, we are welcoming Ryan Jones to the Long Island Legends Podcast! Ryan is the owner of Chubs Meats and Catering and the CEO of the Jones Food Group. Born and raised in Selden, New York, Ryan’s entrepreneurial journey began at just 17 years old when he started working at a family business called Cow Palace.
While learning the ins and outs of the food industry, Ryan was also pursuing another dream, becoming a rock drummer. He spent years playing in a band and touring before ultimately shifting his focus toward building a business of his own. After the band broke up and the tours came to an end, Ryan dedicated himself fully to creating his own path to success.
Through years of hard work and persistence, Ryan’s opportunity arrived in 2014 when he and his wife purchased their first store. What began as a single location has since grown into a thriving operation that now includes three stores, food trucks, and several other ventures.
In addition to the food business, Ryan has expanded his entrepreneurial footprint into industries such as pickleball facilities, real estate, and credit card companies. Today, he continues to build and grow the Jones Food Group while remaining deeply connected to the Long Island community where his journey began.
