NOT JUST LUNCH MEAT: ROUTE 40 DELI IN BEALLSVILLE OFFERS FRESH, HOMEMADE LUNCH FOR NEARLY A DECADE

FAMILY IS THE HEARTBEAT OF LOCAL BUSINESS

I love it when an unintended theme comes together, like with this issue. One main thread jumped out in reading and proofreading our three feature stories for this edition: family. Each is about a locally owned and operated business with a lot of heart and personal connections. These types of shops are the lifeblood of our incredible region, and it’s my honor to help highlight them.

In talking with Judy Wood for our cover story on Route 40 Deli, we chatted about how important it is to support the local Little League teams and how the big box stores and other megacorporations won’t be the ones donating baskets to raffles. Working in community journalism for my entire career, I see this play out constantly.

Why shop locally? Local businesses help our community become more prosperous, entrepreneurial and connected. They are what makes Southwestern Pennsylvania vibrant. Local stores serve as more than just places to shop; they are also gathering places. Places to catch up with neighbors, find out the latest news and share stories with family and friends. Local business owners are also more committed to the community’s overall well-being, as most live in the area.

Small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy and a leading job creation engine. The U.S. Small Business Administration reports that most businesses nationwide are considered small. Nearly half of employees work for a small business, and the median wage of someone working for a small business is 3% more than the national average. This shows how integral small business is to our economy and the economic health of Southwestern Pennsylvania.

At the heart of every small business is family. It takes a village to run a successful small business. Many small businesses are family-owned, and even if they are not, customers at a smaller establishment become like family.

We hear pleas to shop small, mostly in the winter months, when many of us are hitting the stores, searching for deals, and trying to pick the perfect presents. But supporting local shouldn’t be just a seasonal effort. I encourage you to find one of your staples that you currently purchase from a corporation and try to locate a regional replacement. Will it be more expensive? Probably, and I know with the cost of many goods rising, it can get harder to make that budget work. We all make the best choices we can for our families. However, some local options can be higher quality, tastier and more convenient while remaining affordable. Your next jar of honey can be from a local apiary. Flowers from the florist instead of the grocery store. Little changes can absolutely add up, and when you buy from a small business, a real-life person does a little happy dance — I’ve seen it happen.

As always, thank you so much for reading. Take care, stay safe and see you in the next edition.

MarBill Diamonds and Jewelry is moving back on Broad

By Michele Gillis Photos courtesy of MarBill Diamonds and Jewelry

After 60 years in business, the family-owned jewelry store MarBill Diamonds and Jewelry is returning to its roots and moving back to Broad Avenue in Belle Vernon this spring.

MarBill’s original storefront was opened as a catalog showroom at 400 Broad Ave. in 1964. In addition to jewelry, the showroom featured giftware, electronics, appliances and other general merchandise. It also eventually sold swimming pools as well. In 1999, the catalog store closed, and MarBill began operating strictly as a retail jewelry store.

Owners Bill and Linda Horrell decided they wanted to stop paying rent at their current location at 112 Pricedale Road. They purchased the building at 1049 Broad Ave., which used to be the old Trombino Music Center and Jazzy Boutique, to relocate the store.

They gutted the building down to the studs and are renovating it in preparation for a spring opening.

“We hope to be open for Mother’s Day,” said Bill. “We are buying new vaults and there is a lot to do to make the move and for the transition to move the merchandise.”

The LeVian collection is very popular at MarBill Diamonds and Jewelry

Michael, Linda and Bill Horrell of MarBill Diamonds and Jewelry.

The new store will be 3,800 square feet, allowing for a 1,600 square foot showroom, offices and an on-site shop where they can do the custom work and repairs.

Bill, a second-generation owner, grew up in the business and was joined by his wife Linda, a Graduate Gemologist, and son Michael, a Graduate Jeweler, who now operates the store. Both earned their degrees from the Gemological Institute of America in Carlsbad, Calif.

“My dad, Bill Sr., started the business when I was 10 years old,” said Bill. “I literally grew up with the business.”

The company was named MarBill after Bill and his sister Margaret.

“My mom’s name was Anna, so when the store first started, my dad’s name was Bill, so somehow someone thought my mom was Marge, so she went by Marge for many years when it was actually named after my sister and myself,” Bill laughed. “When my dad bought it, it was a little store already. He said, ‘I am buying this business, so I can put my kids through college, and he literally put both of us through college.”

They carry natural and lab-created gemstones and diamond stones of many colors set in silver, white gold, yellow gold, platinum and rose gold.

“The lab-created gemstones are very popular right now,” said Linda. “Customers like it. It’s not about us. It’s about what the customers want.”

Customer Lauren Altermara said that MarBill’s has always been her family’s go-to place when looking for special and unique jewelry.

“The owners are as special as their jewelry, and their customer service is beyond superior,” said Altermara. That customer service stems from how they feel about their customers. They treat their customers as family since they are family-owned. Bill said that their team of jewelry designers and customer service reps are exceptional and treat every customer like family as well.

“It’s more about the relationships with the people than it is about the stuff,” said Bill. “You are a part of the important events in their lives. It’s their birthdays, weddings or anniversaries, and it’s good that we get to be a part of that. We become friends rather than just selling stuff. It’s about the experience you give the customers when they come in and how you genuinely care. Everyone here gets it.”

Stephen Mikita agrees that Marbill has that special something that makes customers feel welcome.

“Let me start off by saying MarBill is the only place that I’ll buy jewelry,” said Mikita. “I’ve known Linda my whole life, and there is no reason for me to go elsewhere. When you walk into MarBill, they make you feel at home. Local business is the only way to go. I’m happy that they are getting back to their roots and are moving back to Broad Avenue where it all began. MarBill jewelry store is the only place for me.”

Another thing that makes MarBill stand out is the variety and amount of custom jewelry it offers.

“MarBill means quality,” said Steve Persaud.

“For a business that’s in a small town, the quality of work they do and the materials used in every piece is the best you will find, bar none. They are people of integrity and put their reputation behind their merchandise. I like the idea of them moving back to Broad Avenue. The new store will have more parking and is really embedded into the heart of the community.”

Custom jewelry is very important to Persaud when he is shopping for jewelry.

“I would be remiss if I did not add that they are the only place I know that you can get custom pieces of that quality without having to sell your firstborn to pay for it,” said Persaud. “Carey and Ian are one of a kind. They are unbelievable.”

Linda said that if a customer likes a piece of their jewelry but wants to make a small change, they can do it.

“We can custom make whatever they want,” said Linda. “We hand-pick everything that is in our store.”

It is a full-service jewelry store with an on-site shop offering repairs restoring heirloom jewelry with well-trained and GIA bench jewelers.

“We offer a wide variety of styles and engagement rings and bands for both men and women along with having an on-site jewelry designer,” said Linda.

An interesting type of jewelry they do is fingerprint jewelry.

“I wear my parent’s fingerprints,” said Linda. “It is a very personal thing. It’s not just jewelry. You get their fingerprints and then have them engraved on a piece of jewelry.”

Since they are experts at what they do, they try to make every jewelry buying experience as easy as possible for their customers.

Altermara said MarBill should be very proud to have withstood the test of time, weathered economic difficulties and pleased customers for over 60 years.

“It shows continued success to our hometown jewelry family to have come full circle back to Broad Avenue,” said Altermara. “I know I’ll continue to buy my jewelry on Broad Avenue at MarBill, and everyone else should, too.”

Linda is a rock and mineral collector and is very involved in the community and local events to support the community.

MarBill is located at 112 Pricedale Rd. in Mon Valley. Look for them at their new location at 1049 Broad Ave. in early May. Visit marbilljewelers.com, facebook.com/MarBillDiamonds or instagram.com/marbilldiamonds/ for more information.

Pool weather is right around the corner

By Michele Gillis

As the winter frost leaves and makes way for the spring flowers to bloom, thoughts of summertime activities, such as opening your swimming pool and all the work surrounding it, may give you pause.

But, don’t worry! Del Suppo Pools is ready and willing to give you a hand for all your poolrelated needs or to even build and design the pool of your dreams.

Del Suppo Pools is more than just a pool company. It is a family-owned pool company which has been in business since 1977. They build and install in-ground pools, do pool renovations, install pool covers, provide pool maintenance, do water testing and sell pool toys, accessories and products. They also have a sister company, Tri-State Pool Covers, an automatic pool cover company.

“My parents started the company 47 years ago,” said Buster Suppo. “I came to work for them when I was in high school. My parents are now fully retired, so my wife, Jennifer, and I are the new owners.”

Their son, Jude, is the manager of the retail store where they sell chemicals, equipment and supplies for pools.

Del Suppo Pools sells and installs the Covana automated gazebo, Cover Pools automatic pool/ spa cover, Loop-Loc safety cover, replacement liners, salt water systems, pool chemicals, accessories and Versa-Lok retaining walls.

Providing weekly pool services, pool openings and closings and maintenance for automatic pool covers is something they take pride in as a small locally-owned family business.

“We are one of the few remaining pool companies that is locally and family-owned in the area,” said Buster. “A lot of our competition is corporately owned. Here, you deal directly with me as the owner, whether you are buying a pool or coming in to get your pool cleaned. Either myself or Jennifer will guide you through the process. Not only do I, along with my crew, personally install your pool, but I also make sure the job is handled correctly and if there are any issues, I can take care of them. The buck stops here. We give a very personal touch.”

As the owner, Buster said he does a little bit of everything at the company, including outside sales, coaching and training the employees to get them better at their jobs, scheduling the employees and making sure the customers are happy and get what they need, oversee the pool construction projects, replace ladders, pool repairs, heat pump repairs, heater repairs, install salt systems, install automatic pools safety covers and more.

If you are looking to change the look of your pool, Del Suppo Pools can help with that as well. They work with six different manufacturers of pool liners that together offer over 100 pattern combinations that can totally change the look of your pool. The possibilities are endless.

The employees at Del Suppo Pools are unique because they have been with the company for several years and have gotten to know their customers very well.

“Our most recent hires are going into their

third year with the company,” said Buster. “Many of our employees are going on their eighth or ninth year with the company.”

Another unique aspect of the employees is their dedication to safety and training, which is something they like to concentrate on during the slow winter months.

“All of our store staff and service technicians recently got certified in CPR,” said Jude. “We care about them and we want them to be safe. Our workers work outside in the heat with spiders and snakes. You never know what could happen. We are working with electricity and bodies of water so we want to make sure everyone is trained to be as safe as possible.”

Buster said during the winter months, his staff also took a 2-3 week training course on electronics to learning how to diagnose and troubleshoot to be better at pool repairs and pool installations as well as servicing and repairing existing pool equipment. Some of the staff also received certification to allow them to work on swimming pool heat pumps.

“That is unique among pool builders in our area,” said Buster. “Most companies just sell them, but we install, maintain and repair heat pumps.”

With spring rapidly approaching, Del Suppo Pools is running a few specials to help customer’s prepare their pools for swimming season.

“We have a 20-week package where we come every week for 20 weeks,” said Jude. “We also open and close your pool during that time. We check the water and clean your pool and take care of any small repairs and let you know if there are any bigger repairs needed and respond quickly with an estimate.”

Jude said they also have a 10-week package which is bi-weekly for 10 weeks, which also includes an opening and closing of the pool.

“With the 20-week package we offer two free service stops and with the 10-week package we offer one free service stop so if your pump stops running, we will come out and see what is wrong

with it,” he added.

Jude said if you buy any chemicals, they will deliver them when they come out to service your pool. Also, they are offering several specials with the pool openings this spring.

“When you get your pool opening through us, we also have sales on different chemicals,” said Jude. “We will deliver them at the time of the opening.”

A cool new product they are highlighting this year is robotic wireless pool cleaners by Polaris.

“These are great innovations in pool care that make your pool easier to maintain,” said Buster.

Before you do anything, Buster recommends going outside and walking around your pool site and looking over the pool cover and equipment to see if anything needs to be addressed before they come out for the pool opening.

“Call us as soon as possible for pool openings as they are starting to book up,” said Jude. “As soon as they read this article they should call us.”

Their showroom is located in Donora in Washington County. The hours starting March 18th are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 10 a.m.5 p.m. Wednesday 12-5 p.m. and Friday 10 a.m.3 p.m. On May 18th, they will also be open on Saturdays from 9 a.m.-1 p.m.

Cox Grocery is a fourth-generation success story

Photos and story by Dave Zuchowski

When Rose and Walter Cox opened a food and dairy bar at 711 Route 481 in Monongahela in 1949, their business philosophy was to provide quality food and personal service.

Now, 75 years later, in these days of big chain grocery stores, the fourth generation of Coxes has continued the original founders’ commitment. Their philosophy is one of family serving families and providing the personal service and a better quality experience that shoppers just can’t get at bigger chain store competitors.

“We’re a niche store and have exactly what supermarkets have, but on a smaller and more exclusive manner,” said Steve Cox, third-generation owner, along with his wife, Peggy. “The Cox Market is home to experienced, highly skilled workers, many of whom have worked at the store their entire careers. They’re one of the reasons for our ongoing success.”

Employee Bonnie Frankovich, for instance, had worked there for 50 years, Darlene Garrick for 40, Rose Totedo for 20 and Penny Richardson and Kim Brigode for over 15. This long tenure has enabled them to know many customers by name and treat them as part of the family.

“Our employees have enabled us to develop a loyal customer base,” said Peggy. “As an example, one of our customers, Betty Minjack, has been a regular since 1949. Now, her children and nieces and nephews shop here.”

While the store stocks a vast array of grocery items in its inventory, the meat and deli departments are the store’s biggest draw, accounting for nearly fifty percent of sales.

“Almost everything in the meat cases is loose and unpackaged,” Peggy said. “Our chicken is all natural with no antibiotics, and our quality pork is from Seaboard Family Farm. The beef is Certified Angus and USDA choice or higher.”

One popular item, Cox’s ham salad, has been sold in the deli since 1949, and some people drive in from afar just to take home some of the store’s chicken salad.

“We make about 80 percent of our salads, including 3 or 4 different kinds of potato salad and 4 or 5 different kinds of macaroni salad,” Peggy said.

Those familiar with DeLallo products can find an entire array of DeLallo deli items and pasta the Coxes buy directly from the producer.

The store also employs two or three bakers who work fulltime, turning out various baked goods, including customized cakes made from scratch.

“Another thing we try to do is stay local,” Steve said. “For starters, we carry local products like Fine Family Apiary honey, Rossel’s maple syrup and Greenawalt free-range eggs.”

Every Friday in Lent and starting on Ash Wednesday, the store features fish sandwiches, one or two pieces of breaded cod served on a house-made bun and toppings tailored to the customer’s taste and specification.

The recipe, which twice won the title “Best Fish Sandwich in Pittsburgh,” is original to the Costanzo family, who once owned two bars, a pizza shop, a catering enterprise and a restaurant on a block of Smithfield Street in Pittsburgh. One of Peggy and Steve’s sons married into the family. With an established familial connection, Steve asked the recipe’s originator if he’d show him how to make the sandwich. “‘Steve,’ the man replied, ‘I’ve been hoping someone would ask me for a long time.’”

The fish sandwich has been sold at the store ever since.

In 1963, when Rose and Walter’s son, Tom, left his teaching job to join the family business with his wife, Esther, the store name changed to Cox Grocery and added the now-popular meat counter with its butcher shop offerings.

Steve and Peggy got into the business immediately after Steve graduated from Washington and Jefferson College with a degree in economics.

“Before Peggy and I could buy into the business, Dad said we’d first have to spend a year working in the store,” Steve said. “When Mom and Dad retired, we took over the store

on Jan. 1, 1996. A few days later, flood waters rose up to the front windows.”

Over the years, the significantly smaller original store was enlarged several times, including a back addition in 1986 and another addition in the 1990s.

The fourth generation of Coxes is now represented by daughter Kaitlyn, who works full time, and sons Jess and Shane, who have other jobs but jump in to help in the store when needed.

In the past, Cox used to advertise on Comcast TV. Now, their only method of getting the word out is through a weekly printed circular available in the store that is also published on the store’s Facebook page and website coxmkt.com. When asked about any plans for the future, Peggy added quite adamantly that the couple “has no exit strategy.”

Judging by Cox’s continued popularity, it’s something the store’s customer base should be glad to hear.

Cox Grocery is open Monday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sunday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, phone 724-258-4900.

Not just lunch meat:

Route 40 Deli in Beallsville offers fresh, homemade lunch for nearly a decade

Story and photos by Trista Thurston

It was a Friday in Lent when I called Route 40 Deli to arrange an interview. But owner Judy Wood was elbow-deep in fried fish and couldn’t come to the phone. I grabbed her Monday after she caught her breath from the busy rush.

I’d driven by it numerous times during trips to Uniontown, but this time, on a beautiful breezy day when the first hints of spring are in the air, I was stopping at the little eatery tucked between the Historic National Hotel and John B. Greenlee Funeral Home.

Judy Wood opened the spot in a former hair salon in 2016, created from the ground up herself.

After working in the legal arena for 20 years as a manager and paralegal, it was time to return home. With her mother’s declining health and her son getting older, Wood quit the daily grind. She started freelancing and was also a server at Olive Garden when she discovered she really enjoyed the food industry. Owning and running her own business had always been a draw.

Route 40 Deli in Beallsville has been a Main Street staple since 2016.

A bestseller is the homemade bacon ranch pasta.

“I just wanted to be a simple, local place where you could pop in and have lunch. I didn’t want to have evening hours. I didn’t want to be here late. I just wanted to come in and do something in the community. I’m from here originally. It felt good to just be part of something around here,” Wood said on her inspiration for opening a deli.

But this is more than your average deli. Everything is sliced daily, and there’s not just lunch meat and cold cuts on the menu. Soups are made in-house, except for the seafood varieties, which come from Wholey’s Fish Market in the Strip District. Her favorite dishes are anything with avocado, meaning there’s always something fresh and healthy on the menu, too. She wants to offer people real food without the fuss.

“Feeding people is personal,” she said. “Make it right, or don’t make it at all.”

Wood is a self-proclaimed stickler, not wanting to disappoint her loyal customers. She’s selective about what she offers and also creative and innovative with her menu. In the colder months, lasagna, cabbage rolls, mashed potatoes and other

hearty, soothing meals are on the menu for those who don’t want a sandwich every day. She tries to mix up her offerings and keep things fresh.

“I love my lunch crowd,” she said with a soft smile. “If they trust you, or they’re coming to your business three, four times a week, they’re obviously enjoying your food, your company, your business … it sounds silly because it’s just a sandwich. But it’s their lunch. It’s their break from their work. It’s the break from the stress of the day. The guys that stop here don’t want to eat in their truck. They want to come in.”

Wood takes great pride in feeding people and knows it is an important part of her customers’ days.

“I had a friend that used to come here all the time. And before she passed away, she brought me that sign up there,” Wood said, gesturing to a thin wooden sign above the entrance to the sit-down portion of the space, black background and white text that says, “Any hour spent with friends is a happy hour.”

“‘When I saw that, I thought of the deli,’” her friend said. ‘“The food’s good, but the vibe is always good. You feel like you’re wanted here, like people want you to be here.’ So, we’ve kept that in her honor.”

Homemade chili is an everyday staple.

There are welcoming, personal elements all over the shop, including painted tiles her son and the art department worked on before he grew up and moved to North Carolina. A sign from a delivery driver is next to the cheeses and meats. Wood has honey from a local apiary and would love to expand her retail offerings with specialty foods she’s researched herself and trusts.

The business has grown over the years and can now be found annually in the Washington County Agricultural Fair’s food court and the Christmas festival. Being a dependable, consistent name in the community, too, has been important to Wood, especially when providing catering for celebrations,

bereavements, showers, graduations and the like. Route 40 Deli also gives back to the community, donating to schools, churches and other organizations, raising money for charitable endeavors and helping raise money for community members in need through cash bashes and chili cookoffs.

“I have a real hard time saying no,” Wood said, adding, “You’ve gotta give to receive.”

How long will Wood continue her labor of love? “Until I don’t like it anymore, and I don’t think that day will come.”
