🍂 A-1 Imported Groceries. Italian Market & Deli Thanksgiving Hours 🍂

Dear Valued Customers,

In observance of Thanksgiving, A-1 Imported Groceries. Italian Market & Deli will be closed on Thursday, November 28th, and Friday, November 29th. We will reopen on Saturday morning, November 30th.

We are incredibly thankful for your continued support and loyalty. Your patronage means the world to us, and we are grateful to serve such a wonderful community.

Did you know? While Thanksgiving is an American tradition, Italy has its own version called La Festa del Ringraziamento. This celebration, particularly popular among American expats in Italy, involves a feast similar to the American tradition but often includes Italian culinary twists like pumpkin risotto or chestnut stuffing. Just like in Italy, where meals are a time to come together and celebrate with loved ones, Thanksgiving is a special time for us to appreciate the blessings in our lives.

Wishing you all a warm and joyous Thanksgiving filled with love, laughter, and delicious food!

Grazie mille, The A-1 Imported Groceries team
