Experience

The J.P. Graziano Experience

A NOTE FROM 4TH-GENERATION OWNER JIM GRAZIANO

In 1937 my great-grandfather started the J.P. Graziano Grocery Company on Randolph Street in Chicago’s West Loop shortly after arriving in America from Italy. He had a few simple goals in mind: place an emphasis on customer service and hand pick Italian food suppliers who offer the highest quality products.

Four generations later, I am honored to carry on the family tradition of customer service, authentic foods, and superior quality.

Most days you’ll find a Graziano family member helping a customer with an order. Ma may be answering a customer service call, my sister may be packing up an order, and I spend my days sourcing Italy’s most popular and unique foods from small producers who live up to my great-grandpa’s standards for quality.

Our store stands in the heart of Chicago’s meat and produce market area at the corner of Peoria and Randolph—the exact same spot where my great-grandfather started his business.
