In 1968 Americo Stellato Sr. ventured to America from a small town in the mountains of Italy called Altavilla , a providence of Avellino (home of the famous Italian chestnuts). In 1969 he returned to Italy to prepare to get married to his bride Antoinetta , a wonderful young lady from a small town called Baiano. They wed in Italy on August 30th that same year. Returning to America, on January 22, they boarded the cruise line SS Raffaello for a seven day trip. Finally arriving to the ports in New York on January 29, only to settle in the town of Camden, NJ just outside of Philadelphia. Americo Sr, found work with a company called Prince Foods, a pasta and sauce factory (famous for "Wednesday is Spaghetti day"). Finding it difficult to make ends meet, Antoinetta found work as a seamstress (her trade since she was eight years old) with Camden Custom trousers. In 1971 the first of three sons was born, Americo(Rick)Jr. followed by Pellegrino(Pelle)76' and Giuseppe (JoeJoe) 77'. In 1984 they moved out of the city of Camden, NJ to a quiet Suburban town call Runnemede NJ, where they still reside today. Moving across the street from a produce purveyor Rick soon found his calling by working summers on the docks. In 1989 his boss opened his first retail establishment which opened the doors for Rick to bring his two brothers into the field and that hasn't left then since. In 1992 Rick Stellato started a small produce delivery company delivering fruits and vegetables to local restaurants by borrowing his old boss's pick up truck and his boss's line of credit and from there we can say the rest is history. In 1998 Pelle Stellato returned from Italy and joined Rick in servicing restaurants across the tri-state area. Working long days and into the nights the business started to grow at an extremely fast pace, demands for more trucks and space were needed as the years went on and the search for a warehouse began. In 2001 a warehouse was needed more than ever to accommodate the volume of business that they had achieved and that is when Stellato's Market was created with the addition of the third and final Brother Joe Stellato. Joe Joe left his job on the docks as an inventory manager and high-low operators to join his brothers and completed the trio , as we know today as "The Stellato Boys". The Stellato boy's name was a perfect fit to the business as well. Since the boys were old enough to walk, where one went they all went, so there it began. "Here come the Stellato boys!". In 2001 the first Stellato Boys location was opened at a two acre facility in West Berlin ,NJ. Soon followed the second, in 2003 Mantua, NJ location was opened. Today it has become a family run business and the name was no longer a fit as we now have young ladies as well as young men to carry on the torch. In order of birth - Giana 98' , Vincenzo 00' , Emilie 01' , Giuseppe 05 ' and Julianna 06'..... Proud to become and known as Stellato's Market
