90 years, and 4 generations later, Zabar’s family business is still going strong.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our father and mother, Louis and Lillian Zabar, started the business back in 1934, opening a 22-foot-wide shop along NYC’a Broadway at West 80th Street. Louis was a real stickler for quality, roasting his own coffee, and personally visiting smokehouses to sample and inspect the fish – rejecting far more than he accepted.<\/p>\n
The principles and practices of our founder and father continue to guide us: Respect the customer. Never, ever stint on quality. Offer fair value. And last but not least, keep searching for the new and wonderful.<\/p>\n
Without question, this last point has accounted for some memorable moments. Back in the 1960\u2019s, we introduced New York to Brie, in the \u201870\u2019s we brought them sun-dried tomatoes and gnocchi, and in the \u201880\u2019s, we got so excited about caviar \u2013 and wanted everyone to taste it \u2013 that our prices set off a so-called \u201cCaviar War\u201d. (Incidentally, we won.)<\/p>\n
Over the years, the business kept growing, and today we span practically the entire block front. With our sons, daughters and their cousins, we\u2019re still at it \u2013 hand-slicing meltingly delicious smoked fish behind our deli counter\u2026offering tastes of the latest artisanal cheeses\u2026setting out fresh-baked batches of rugelach (it\u2019s our Bubbe\u2019s recipe)\u2026overseeing the roasting of our special coffee blends (we sell 400,000 pounds a year!) Retire? Not on your life \u2013 we\u2019re having too much fun!<\/p>\n
As Louis taught us, to succeed as a family business, you have to love each other, and love the business \u2013 in our case, great food, great service, great prices, great folks. We ask you, what\u2019s not to love?!<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s to another 80 years, and then some! Heartfelt thanks for your patronage.<\/p>\n
