Angelo Caputo's has opened its 10th grocery store as the family business has expanded in the suburbs. The architecture of this store, in Norridge, mimics the rolling hills of Italy, from which Angelo Caputo hailed.
“Customers had trouble getting to Elmwood Park due to traffic,” said Presta, Angelo Caputo’s son-in-law. “We like the vicinity right off the Kennedy.”Angelo Caputo's Fresh Markets offers a cafe in its new Norridge location, the family chain's 10th store. “Mindful of Angelo and Romana Caputo’s vision of treating customers like family, the architecture builds on that simple principle,” wrote Theodore in a text to the Caputo family. “This unique store embraces the founders’ vibrancy and energy with forms creating the shell of the structure that seem to defy gravity.”
And while the prepared foods greatly expand Caputo’s original offerings, tradition hangs heavy in the air. Although he died in 2021, recorded telephone greetings from Angelo Caputo, complete withare maintained at the behest of daughter Antonella when a caller to the store is put on hold. Takeoffs on all-time tunes, such as Frank Sinatra’s “Chicago ” and Dean Martin’s “That’s Amore,” substitute Caputo’s in the lyrics for callers on hold.
