The Letizio Family The origins of the A.J. Letizio Sales and Marketing Co. date back to 1912 when the Letizio family entered a meat business with People’s Cash Market in Lawrence, Mass. From the 1910 to 1930, the Letizio brothers (Alfred, Frank, and Louis) built a family reputation for creativity in merchandising and for quality and service in the meat business in the area of Boston’s North Shore. The decade of the 1940s and 1950s saw the Letizios usher in a new generation of meat merchandising featuring the introduction of the service meat department. From the 1960s to the 1990s, the Letizio family entered a new generation as Albert Letizio Sr., son of Alfred, continued in the family tradition in the “self service meat era” of the supermarket industry. The company served as an innovator in the transition from “swinging beef” to value added boxed vacuum packed primal cuts, processed meats, poultry, seafood, lamb and veal. In 1975, Al Sr. founded the New England Wholesale Meats Outlets, two southern New England retail meat stores, offering wholesale meats to the public with an emphasis of the family tradition for quality and service. Al Letizio Jr. entered the family business as an apprentice meat cutter in 1975. In 1982, Al began a career in the sales and marketing of meat and deli products. In 1988, A Jr. and Patti Letizio founded A.J. Letizio Food Brokers Inc in Salem, N.H. The company rapidly expanded from Al & Patti to a team of professionals serving the supermarket industry in New England. In 1996, the company expanded into the food ser ice business and began its development as the only New England sales and marketing company that serves both retail and food service channels. With more than 40 associates, the company stands proudly behind a family legacy for success, innovation, and exceptional customer service. |
