As co-owner Peter Ferraro puts it, “we have a very unique family.” And “family” is what drives him to keep the business alive. His father, Sal Ferraro, launched the business under the name Mohawk Market in early 1952.
“My father and mother had four boys, and all of us grew up in the store,” Peter Ferraro said. The family gets along well, Peter Ferraro said. “We’re always together,” he said. When it comes to the family business, the kinship transcends blood relations.
“Employees just don’t leave. They become family. It’s amazing, and I see it in everyone that comes on here,” store manager Al Lauro said when asked why he has stuck around for so long. Lauro has worked for Ferraro’s for more than 15 years, he said. Other employees have stayed for as long as 30. “They’re the best people I ever worked for,” he said of the Ferraros. “I never have any intentions of leaving.”
While many of the faces at Ferraro’s have stayed the same, some aspects of the business have changed. What started as a meat market on State Street in New Haven became a longtime staple of the Wooster Square neighborhood after moving to Grand Avenue.
In late 2020, Ferraro’s would relocate to a smaller storefront in North Haven on Universal Drive North. The new Ferraro’s location is less than half the size of the former one, making it easier to manage. “A lot of the customers followed us,” he said. “We also get a lot of new customers that did not come to the New Haven store.” The family passed 70 years in business early this year, he said. New Haven Direct Connect is proud to be a part of the Ferraro’s tradition.
New Haven Direct Connect offers a delicious mix of Ferraro's favorites.
