I live just around the corner and have shopped at Mediterranean Supermarket for many years. Thanks for the story! When my mother in law was visiting us, I took her there and she was amazed to meet people from her own town in Calabria who have been here for decades. She heard them speaking in dialect.
(I picked up a couple of types where ‘Giuseppe’ is misspelled ‘Giuseppi’)
What a tragic story. I'd heard about it, but this article was about Mediterranean Wholesalers, and its status today as an iconic Brunswick institution.

You left out an important detail about Giuseppe murdering his first wife in 1956
