Uncle Giuseppe’s Marketplace opened its new Greenvale, N.Y., location at Wheatley Plaza on Aug. 14, following an 11 a.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony and a grand opening celebration designed to bring the full Uncle Giuseppe’s experience to Nassau County’s North Shore. 
The store, at 130 Wheatley Plaza, serves communities across Nassau County’s North Shore, including Greenvale, Roslyn, Old Westbury, Brookville, Glen Cove, Oyster Bay, Locust Valley and surrounding areas.
As part of the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Uncle Giuseppe’s presented a $100,000 donation to Cohen Children’s Medical Center, representing funds raised through a customer fundraiser matched by the Uncle Giuseppe’s family.
To mark the opening, the company showcased a 2,100-pound wheel of cheddar cheese made in Wisconsin, carved into an Uncle Giuseppe’s storefront complete with Roman columns. Guests also enjoyed cannoli cart samplings, hot bread samplings, fresh mozzarella tastings and the ceremonial cutting of rare 10-year-aged and 25-year-aged Parmigiano Reggiano. Artisans from Italy showcased handmade charcuterie and antipasto selections, and ice sculptures were displayed in the seafood department.
“Our team members are the heart and soul of every Uncle Giuseppe’s,” said Carl DelPrete, CEO and co-founder of Uncle Giuseppe’s Marketplace. “We are a company that believes in made fresh, sold fresh every day in every store, and it takes hardworking, dedicated people who care about the food and care about the customers. We are always looking for the best people to join the team, become part of the Uncle G family, work hard, learn, grow, and be part of something special.”
The Greenvale store also is creating jobs on Nassau County’s North Shore. Uncle Giuseppe’s opened with a fully staffed store, with approximately 250 team members. That is part of the company’s broader goal to hire approximately 1,000 team members during the next 12 months as it continues to grow across the Northeast, including New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
