E. 48th Street Market marks 40 years of operation in Dunwoody
The independent Italian grocery and deli in Dunwoody, Georgia, is celebrating four decades in business this year.
E. 48th Street Market was founded in 1986 by Charlie and Anita Augello, who transitioned from corporate careers to open a retail space centered on their New York City roots. The store was established to bring authentic Italian-American culinary traditions to the Georgia market.
Over the past 40 years, the business has maintained a focus on imported ingredients and prepared foods. By operating as a small-scale, family-run enterprise, the market has carved out a niche presence in the competitive regional retail landscape, prioritizing specialized inventory over mass-market volume.
The company commemorates its 40th anniversary this year, remaining under family management. Its longevity reflects a consistent strategy of catering to local demand for specialty food items in the Dunwoody area.
