Kowalonek’s Kielbasy Shop | A Taste of Old-World Tradition in Shenandoah
Kowalonek’s Kielbasy Shop in Shenandoah has been serving generations of customers with handcrafted kielbasy and authentic Polish specialties since 1911. Known throughout Schuylkill County and beyond, this specialty meat market and butcher shop blends old-world flavor with modern techniques. The store’s roots trace back to a humble grocery opened by Joseph “Dziadzi” Kowalonek, and today, the third generation continues to prepare quality meats from time-honored family recipes.
A Legacy of Homemade Excellence
What started as a small neighborhood grocery has grown into a must-visit destination for kielbasy lovers. For decades, the Kowalonek family produced their famous cherry-wood smoked kielbasy just down the street, filling the Shenandoah air with the unmistakable aroma of tradition. Their expanded storefront on South Main Street offers a wide array of fresh meats, house-made sausages, and prepared foods made with care and expertise.
A Full Selection of Polish Favorites
Shoppers can find fresh and smoked kielbasy, kielbasy grillers, bacon bombs, and jerky alongside Polish staples like haluskie, potato babka, and pierogies from local makers like St. Michael’s and T&L Pierogies. They also offer signature dips, mac and cheese, savory meatballs, and housemade bread stuffing. From everyday meals to holiday favorites, Kowalonek’s has something for every occasion—including seasonal specialties like smoked turkey kielbasy.
Kowalonek’s Kielbasy Shop remains a cornerstone of community tradition and flavor in Shenandoah, PA.
