Our Staff
Mariella, family members and staff welcome you to our store, where we are always happy to offer you our helpful knowledge and expertise.
Many of us have been with the company more than a quarter century, and a number of us have backgrounds in the field of foodservice.
Mariella, our President, and everyone's mother and sister, manages our staff of usually about two dozen people. Most live in our immediate neighborhood, work full-time and receive vacation, and other benefits. Our hours of operation reflect the family nature of our business.
Although we, like all humans, are not perfect, we know that we couldn't do without you, so we always do our best to fix our mistakes, and to treat you with the respect that you and all of us rightly deserve. Really!
