Our Approach
Report
We cut the meats and cheeses for each sandwich only a few short seconds before we put the entire sandwich together and wrap it tightly in heavy butcher paper. We do not pre-slice the meats and cheeses and work off of stacks throughout the day. Cutting our meat and cheese fresh to order ensures each sandwich we sell is at the peak of freshness.
Our History
Report
The history of the J.P. Graziano Grocery Company began with a young Sicilian from the seaside town of Bagheria named Vincenzo Graziano. In the early 1900s Vincenzo left Bagheria and set out for America, as a stowaway, pursuing the girl he had fallen for. Leaving his hiding spot in the engine room, Vincenzo unexpectedly met one of his uncles who is bound for New York.
Our Founder
Report
Vincenzo Graziano came to Chicago penniless in 1905 and by 1933 had built a thriving business, the J.P Graziano Grocery Company, a business that his great-grandson operates to this day. His affection and commitment to his family was always evident and his sons, Alfredo and Paul, followed closely in his footsteps both as fathers and as businessmen.
