MELROSE MARKET
807 Francis
GENEO'S PIZZA
807-811 Francis
In 1924, Giuseppe "Joe" Manganaro owned & operated an Italian market advertising fancy meats and groceries. It was called Melrose Market located at 807 Francis.
In the early 1930's, Mr Manganaro moved his grocery store to 909 Frederick Avenue.
Currently, half of Geneos Pizza occupies the address where the market once stood.
As you can in the photos, the front facial & doorways are the same with some modifications.
