Good morning. I don't usually post on a Saturday but we are having our last chicken barbecue today. Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday for our last fish fry. I apologize to anyone who didn't get fried fish because we ran out. I have to admit that's the first time that that has happened in probably four years. We didn't anticipate right.
Chicken should be ready somewhere between 10:30 and 11 o'clock and we will sell until we run out. Thank you again for your patronage over the years.

Good morning. Today will be our final fish fry as Papa The Butcher. I want to thank you all for your patronage and we still believe it's the best fish fry in the county.
We also have seasoned crabs today for $5.99 each. They are always a hit.

I have two cousins left, both of whom are 13-14 years older. After I posted the pictures of Mom and Dad on the truck and of the store, one called (Anthony) to tell me when he was in Galeton he wanted to ride with Mom delivering produce because she would buy him a soda! I can believe this story—the several hundred times I was with Dad on the truck I would had to ask to ask for him to stop. He told me I’d say “aren’t you getting hungry Dad?”
Anthony also told me that when Dad bought the store he planned on staying on the truck and Mom would run the store. That lasted about two months until Mom had the store so busy she couldn’t handle it by herself.
This is the sign when we opened our store in Jersey Shore. Now, 28 years later, a store from Jersey Shore is buying a store in Mansfield!

I had the idea for Papa the Butcher for a lot of years. Gary Smith, a retired P&C store manager was helping me do Snyder’s pretzels. Over the course of several years, he told me that he used to be a meat specialist with them. I asked him if he could help me get a butcher shop open if I found the right location in Mansfield.

We found the location. Gary set it up, then I went for more help. I reached back into the Super Duper days and asked Nancy Thomas,an excellent cook, to come work for us. I asked Linda Allen who, I hired at 16, help me run the store (Deborah was still teaching). Brad Bailey, who we taught to cut meat Super Duper, rounded out the first crew.

Day three Deborah is running the register after school and a customer she is checking out says “OK there’s a Papa, is there a Mrs Papa?” She said “as a matter of fact there is!”She went home and embroidered a new apron saying Mrs. Papa.

Good morning. It's Papa again this morning. I traced the beginning of Papa The Butcher to my parents, Louis and Josephine Greco. They sold produce door-to-door in Galton after Dad came back from WWII.
After five years of doing this, they bought Galton's first self service grocery store. These pictures are from the early 1950s which means Greco's have been selling food for 75 years.
As I said yesterday, I'm proud of what Papa The Butcher became, and I'm proud of our roots.

Good morning. This is a message from Papa today.
It is a bittersweet day at Papa The Butcher as we announced the sale of our store to Country Valley Meats. When Deborah and I opened the store, we told ourselves we would give it 10 years and then see where we were. We opened the store on May 14, 2015 and earlier this year we received an offer to sell and obviously the timing was perfect.
We are immensely proud of what Papa The Butcher has become. To our loyal customers, to our amazing staff, to our vendors, and to First Citizens bank – thank you. As we leave, please remember that you are all a part of something very special.
Over the next several days, I will tell you of our plans as we wind down operations and encourage you to explore Country Valley Meats on Facebook.
We will be making lunches and dinners this week and possibly a little something next week. With that said lunch for today is.

Good morning. I'm hoping the thunderstorms don't chase you away. They seem to have gone to sleep. The Amish are here again this morning for whatever you might need and we are doing fish fry.
