__________________________________________________________________________ Uncle Giuseppe ’ s Marketplace
“ Born out of a vision to create a shopping experience reminiscent of Old-World charm , Uncle Giuseppe ’ s was established in 2001 . Our idea was to recreate the ambiance of a traditional market , where customers could find artisan butchers , knowledgeable cheese mongers , and a variety of fresh produce all under one roof . But most importantly , our priority is to uphold the service and quality rightfully associated with these markets . While our inaugural store covered an area of 7800 square feet , we have expanded over the years , with our newest locations spanning between 40,000 and 50,000 square feet . In fact , our most recent stores surpass the 50,000 square feet mark . It is worth noting that Uncle Giuseppe ’ s was originally founded as an experiment to gauge whether our concept was viable since we thought there was a gap in the market and wanted to prove this to be the case . Fortunately , the response has been overwhelmingly positive and fostered continued growth ,” he enlightens .
Artisan experience
The secret to the success of Uncle Giuseppe ’ s unique concept lies not only in the familiar ambiance it cultivates but also in the delightful products it offers . “ As a full-service supermarket we serve a comprehensive range of 26,000 items in our stores . Although we provide products commonly found in regular supermarkets , we stand out through our dedicated perishable departments , each creating its own specialties . For example , our bakers prepare a fresh batch of cakes , pastries , and cookies every day within their store ’ s production facility . Additionally , our kitchens operate with a minimum of two shifts comprising 20-to-25 talented chefs , diligently cooking and preparing food throughout the day . Uncle Giuseppe ’ s takes pride in its diverse product variety , including prepared meals and dinners , and over 80 different types of fresh foods offered within each store . Finally , our perishable seafood department truly separates us from the competition ,” begins Carl .
