a brief history....

We are a family business started by Bartholomew Perrone in 1924. The partners of the Perrone and De Maio families originally opened Progress Grocery, later splitting and becoming Progress Grocery and Central Grocery, thus giving the muffuletta sandwich its rich and slightly varied history and legacy. Currently we are in our fourth generation offering the same Italian quality products that Bartholomew did in the deli, but we also offer over 5,000 specialty items and ingredients to restaurants and grocery stores.

Meet The family

Our family business is run by the third and fourth generation of Perrone family members. We have been lucky enough to have inherited experience and dedication from our previous generations. This allows us to be ready to serve the customer and continue to grow the family business for the next generation to take over.
