In just three days, Andrew Citarella will be serving the very last customer at Citarella's Meats and Deli, 121 years after his great grandfather served the very first.

Fed up and frustrated, Shariff Khan talked exclusively to Eyewitness News reporter Kemberly Richardson after illegal fireworks set his home on fire during Fourth of July celebrations on Monday.

But that also means saying farewell to extended family, and anyone who made the store a regular pitstop who became like family. "Very sad. I've been coming since 1979, I've known Ralph since school," Red Bank resident Dave Adams said."It will be missed." "When you just need somebody and always cooking instructions for my Christmas dinner, we shared recipes, they're just phenomenal people," said Susan, a regular customer at Citarella's."We made sure we treated the customers well, and made sure we carried quality products," Citarella said."We put a lot of pride in it. We've had some very loyal customers."

Saturday is the last day of business for the family that hung in there and kept their great grandfather's dream going.----------
