- Maison Jemmely, based in Nyon, takes up the butcher’s shop of Philippe Grange, in Begnins. The opening is scheduled for May 6.
- The famous grilled bacon recipe will be transmitted to Julien and Greg Jemmely, the two future bosses.
- In addition to the legendary product developed by Philippe Grange, customers will be able to discover the specialties of Maison Jemmely.
That the fans of grilled bacon of Begnins are reassured: the next retirement of Philippe “Philou” Grange will not rhyme with the disappearance of his flagship product, of which he sells 4 to 5 tonnes per year. The butcher ended up finding the rare pearl to which to transmit its flourishing trade and, at the same time, the secrets of its legendary recipe.
At the beginning of spring, the septuagenarian will pass the torch to Julien and Greg Jemmely, young caterers in Nyon. The two brothers, at the head of Maison Jemmely since 2017, say they “jumped at the opportunity”. “It is a pride for us who are children of Begnins,” says Julien Jemmely. We will try to last the tradition and we hope that the population is grateful and that the customers play the game by continuing their habits with us. ”
Confidential buyout price
Although the redemption of the recipe was obvious, the village “star” butcher above Gland did not really give them the choice. “Insofar as the grilled bacon was the specialty of the Grange butcher’s shop, its recipe was a sort of part of the Pas-deck,” said Julien Jemmely. As for the amount which had to be spent to acquire this precious know-how, it remains strictly confidential.
Philippe Grange himself developed the recipe for the tasty grilled bacon of Begnins, whose fame extends far beyond his region. His succession is now assured.
Patrick Martin/24 Hours
-Despite the long distance that will separate their two points of sale -in addition to a truck that crosses the French -speaking markets -the thirties says he is convinced by the usefulness of this duplication in the region. “The reputation of the bacon of Begnins means that people go specifically to this butcher’s shop,” he supports. This recovery allows us to win a clientele that would not necessarily move to downtown Nyon. This is particularly the case for those who like the ease of parking that there is in Begnins. ”
Two shops, only one identity
From the Nyonnaise shop to that of Begnins, the assortment will remain mainly similar. Except made, perhaps, grilled bacon! “Since the Jemmely house produces its own grilled bacon (Editor’s note: also very coveted)the question of which version will be privileged has often been asked, ”notes the butcher.
“It is quite certain that we will keep the version of Begnins, but the right formula must be still refined, so that everyone is happy. For example, it is possible that at the Nyon store there is only the bacon “Jemmely” … but it is still under discussion. “
Inauguration in May
Once Philippe Grange left on March 31, the two brothers will devote a month to cooling work in the shop. The opening of the new brand is already scheduled for May 6.
Contacted on Friday, the future retiree was unfortunately too busy to comment on this news. Again, the proof of the tireless success of his store.
