Calcagni Commercial Helps Everybody’s Market
Ink Deal with Big Y
April 25, 2014 | Cheshire, CT – Calcagni Commercial and Everybody’s Market, both family-owned businesses in Cheshire, today announced the closing of a deal with Big Y Foods, Inc. that will transform Everybody’s Market into Big Y’s Everybody’s Market in the grocery store’s current location at 1021 South Main Street beginning in July 2014.
In talking with Big Y’s real estate manager more than one year ago, the Calcagni Commercial team learned the grocery store chain desired to have a presence in the Cheshire community.
“Almost immediately, we thought of Everybody’s Market,” says Ralph Lewis, vice president of Calcagni Commercial. “They’re a family business that has had tremendous success delivering high quality products to high-end consumers. And they’ve done that all these years while remaining true to their core values: accountability, strong relationships, honesty, treating customers like family, and hard work.”
Confident in the potential for productive dialogue between Big Y and Everybody’s, Calcagni introduced the two families. For Sam Morris of Everybody’s, bringing in Big Y made perfect sense.
“Ever since my late father, Irv Morris who passed away in 2012, brought Everybody’s back to Cheshire in the 1990’s, we’ve been dedicated to building strong, long-term relationships with our neighbors by selling high-quality local and natural produce, meats, seafood, and groceries,” says Sam Morris. “It was my dad who laid the foundation for all our success to date and made it possible for us to explore this unique opportunity with Big Y. We are two companies that have the same family values at our core, and I think Big Y is going to be a great addition to our Cheshire community.”
Morris informed Everybody’s management of the deal this morning. Management then spent the day sharing the news with employees.
Big Y will handle hiring for the new store. On its website, Big Y announced the April 29, 2014 opening of a hiring site for Big Y’s Everybody’s Market at 1029 South Main Street in Cheshire.
