Gus’ Fresh Jerky Comes to Lone Pine

The story of Gus’ Fresh Jerky started right here in California's Eastern Sierra.

Back in 1996, Gus began selling fresh jerky from a roadside stand in Olancha, California, along Highway 395.

Over the years, travelers began making Gus’ part of their Highway 395 trips. Some customers discovered us by accident after seeing the roadside jerky signs, while others made stopping for their favorite jerky a tradition every time they traveled through the Eastern Sierra.

Nearly 30 years later, we're proud to continue that tradition with our Gus’ Fresh Jerky store in Lone Pine, California.
