NEIGHBORHOOD GROCERY STORES
The neighborhood grocery stores were the backbone of Freeland. They were distributed throughout town and all carried staples plus various kinds of produce, meats, bakery items. A number of the smaller stores were in the front parts or bottom floors of peoples' homes. The men and women who waited on customers were familiar, welcoming faces. They helped to make Freeland a close-knit community.
Thanks to Charlie Reczkowski, Charles Rudewick, Mike Bobby, Denise Boyer, Jack Polachak, Ed Merrick, Don Snyder, Mary Ann Rosetta Schaeffer, Leslie Robin, Mark Sheaman, Jack Opilla, Carolyn Moering, Pat Ferko Miller, Ed Kushma, Austin Kerr, Barbara Opilla Gadola, George Feussner, Eddie Barna, Jolene Lavinka Szymanski, Lisa Chaykowski Merlo, Tina Velgus, Chris Grega, George Opilla, Karl Krone, Billy Kuklis for additions and corrections.
Information in parentheses from Catholic Reference Book and Parish Register, circa 1924 come to us from Ed Merrick, as does information from the 1940 Federal Census. Regarding the census information, in some instances it's not clear whether the individual named was the owner/proprietor of the store or an employee, and some of the addresses from the census might be home addresses rather than business addresses. Ed adds: The handwriting was hard to decipher in many instances, and so corrections are welcome. Many of the businesses have been in the same family for years, and so the first names may differ in earlier or later years.
This is an incomplete list. Late 19th-century and early 20th-century stores will be listed on another page. I would be very grateful for additions and corrections, and also for 21st-century businesses to add to this list - please send suggestions. Thank you!
Acme Food - Centre & Main Streets
American Food Store
- 503 Centre St. (from Ed Merrick,
1919 ad; another ad 1924) Andy Ambrosi's - 99 Washington Street, Foster Township (near MMI, in the alley off Washington St.) (Andrew Ambrosi, proprietor) groceryman, private store (age 29 in 1940 Census)
A & P - Front & Washington Streets (previously at old PP&L site on Centre & Walnut Streets) - This old postcard image likely dates to soon after the A & P was opened in 1938 at the site of the former Opera House and Krell's Hall. The postcard comes from Joanne Grosso (cropped detail).
Acme Food - Centre & South Streets
Anthony's -
Some months
ago I heard from Charlie Rudewick. He wrote:I recently found this photo of Anthony's Store (from around mid-1950s) located at 718 Walnut St. They sold candy and some pet stuff. I bought some tropical fish and a hamster from them.
When it was "Anthony's" it was owned by Willam Job Anthony and his Wife, V. Zitella Anthony. At one point, either before or after Anthony's ownership, it was Fritz's Store.
Anthony's lived at 722 (we lived at 712 and they were on the same side of the street as us). Fritz was Zitella's maiden name and her brother and sister-in-law lived next door to them (720 Walnut). The Fritz's had a son, Mervin, who is/was my age and I think they ran the store for a while. The Fritz's moved away in the mid '50s and then the Anthony's son William moved in the Fritz house, next to Mom & Dad. (Thank you to Charlie Rudewick for this memory.)
Bove's Super Market - 501 Centre St. (From Eddie Barna: Another super market in town was Bove's Super Market at 501 Centre Street. Bove's also had stores in Hazleton during the 1950's. Prior to Bove's, there was an Acme Super Market at this location during the 40's and early 50's. After Bove's, the building was empty for a period of time and then opened as a laundermat, dry cleaning business and antiques store by John Yagalla.)
Branz's - 511 Fern St., Leonard Branz proprietor(age 34 in 1940 Census)
Brueningsen's - 800 Birkbeck St. Bobby Maso wrote an
article about this business for the Standard Speaker, published
1-11-2009. He noted that the store on Birkbeck Street was built in
October of 1900 and the store was opened by August Harold Brueningsen.
His two sons, Harold Sr. ("Pud") and Walter ("Yop") worked at the store
almost from its beginnings. Maso said that August might have had a
produce stand at the Central Hotel as far back as 1896, and that
Brueningsen's was the first local grocery to have a store on wheels,
serving Freeland, Eckley, Highland and Upper Lehigh. They eventually
opened a second, smaller store in Upper Lehigh, which I remember from
my own childhood visits there. The Upper Lehigh store closed in 1982
and the main store on Birkbeck Street closed on Sept. 20, 1986.
Butchko's - South
St. (Michael Butchko, proprietor)Capece's Grocery - 226 Ridge St. (Michael Capece, proprietor)
George Cheppa's - 1120 Walnut St.
Corner Store - 532
Ridge St. (Charlie & Margaret Reczkowski, proprietors) ('54
Minamek)CT: The Corner Store, later The Corner Market, was run by Reczkowskis there on Ridge and Main streets since 1951, before Charlie was married. It was founded by the 3 brothers, then Charlie ran it later with his wife Margaret with help from their children, and most recently it was run single-handedly by daughter Mary Ann after her parents' passing. Sadly, the store closed in January 2011, and now all 5 members of the family have passed on. This was the lone surviving small grocery from a time when there were such stores in every neighborhood in town. We miss this longtime local landmark, with its good catering, dependability and friendly service. I saved a food sack from a purchase, on which Charlie had done his usual pencilled figuring to determine the amount owed, the bag also doubling as a receipt. This used to be common practice in these small groceries when I was a kid, but now is rarely seen.
There had been grocery stores on this site since at least 1895. In the 1920s Joe Ranieri bought it, built a new building (still standing today) and operated a store there. I don't know who had it before or immediately after him! I do remember Charlie telling me that Billy Nitka had a store there for awhile before the Reczkowskis. From Ed Merrick: The Corner Store, small grocery business operated at the corner of Ridge and Main streets by Joseph Machella, has been purchased by Billy Nitka, local A. and P. employee, it was reported last night. (from Ed Merrick, 1950 notice) So we know that Joseph Machella also had a store there. And maybe one or several others, too. Probably the longest-standing grocery store location in Freeland's history.

He opened another Grocery store in Conyngham, Pa. about 10 years later and operated it until about 1965, 364 days a year; he was closed Christmas Day.)

My Mom, Helen, remembers it as her family lived next door to them. My Mom then was a widow with a family. They used to help my grandmother out with food.

more.Mesko's - South & Hemlock Sts. (Steve and Mary Mesko, proprietors) (From Ed Kushma: There was a small food store - Mesko's I worked there for a couple of years when I was in school during the late 50's. The store was run by Mrs. Mesko while Mr. Mesko drove a mobile grocery bus in the area.)

There was a small grocery store and a bus my Father converted to a store on wheels. His route was Eckley and the Jeddo's. The bus was the first to have both a refrigerator and freezer. When he retired, he sold the bus but kept the store. He continued to make small deliveries by car to mostly his old customers in Jeddo.) (From Barbara Opilla Gadola: My uncle, Michael (Buck) Opilla, had his first grocery store that I can remember on South St between Vine and Fern St just below the St. John's Nepomucene RC Church. He then built a new home on Park St. and his grocery store was in the lower level of that house. He also had a store on wheels which was a converted passenger bus. He served many "patch" towns on his route and also made grocery deliveries in his station wagon to the elderly and shut-ins.) (From Pat Miller: Opilla....Small store on wheels. A converted bus...a big orange bus.) (From George Opilla: My Dad's store was first located on South Street and later on Park Street in Freeland. ...

Sandy Run and my grandfather took over the store about 1941 or 1942. He
used to help run Fox's grocery store in Sandy Run.) (Photo provided by
Ann Marie Spock.)(From Tina Velgus: Hello, I was reading your website about the stores in freeland, loved seeing my great grandfather's store on there! I spent my childhood growing up in the store on 1129 Birkbeck St. with my very kind, very sweet and loving aunt Mary (Mary Elizabeth Spock). She was the one who ran the store after the death of her parents and then up until she had gotten sick with cancer and passed away - in 1996 I believe. I was wondering if there was any way you could mention her in the article? She dedicated her entire life to that store and to her family. Anyone alive today who remembers the store will most likely remember her. It would be a fitting tribute to a wonderful woman and would also mean the world to me. Thank you, Tina Velgus)

was my uncle Vince, Packy's
brother. He had problems with an illness he contracted in the army, he
was in and out of hospitals for quite a while so he opened this store
in the feed mill until he was released from the veterans
administration. He did quite well there. After he left for the Philly
area, my grandparents kept it going. The phone number was theirs.
Apparently one ring for the house, two rings for the feed mill. The ad
was for a special promotion. Probably a holiday. Neither of us has ever
heard of tume, maybe someone can tell us what it is." [I asked the
Freeland groups on
facebook and learned that tume was a type of Italian cheese. - CT] See
