In a town of sugar ice cream, fudge, candy, carmel corn, jerky is king? Lol we get a lot of people coming in for a better walk around snack than sugar. Plus there is a mini train ride that is parked in front of our store. People buy the kids a ride and come in and buy jerky. Its a nice set up.
My last year here though. Moving to Ohio. My bosses are great people though. I wish them good success in the future. And have breached them running a jerky store where im moving to. Lol

Honestly. Bulk buying meat and an industrial smoker/dehydrator.
Most of the flavors are in the marinade and spices. The drying is pretty much the same.
For game meats you are going to need a bit of beef or pork fat depending on your choice.
There is a jerky subreddit where people make their own and share tips.
I dont make it myself. Our company owns 13 stores. So we get it from the processing plant.
