Lazzaro Bros

In 1916 the business now known as Lazzaro Brothers was started by Bernadino and Maria Lazzaro who had immigrated to Australia from Italy to start a new life. Their first store was opened in Raymond Street. In 1982 saw a move from Raymond Street to York Street to offer their customers convenient parking and a bigger shop. It was then they operated as self service for the first time. They continued to do their own purchasing at the Melbourne Market two and three times a week. In 1999 Michael, his wife Judy and their son David continued the business.  In 2004 the shop was extended, re-furbished and modernized. In 2006 David and his wife Carol purchased the business and since that time have diversified into deli and selected gourmet products. Today, David personally continues to purchase fresh fruit and vegetables from the Melbourne Market now at Footscray as well as from local suppliers for his Retail and Wholesale Trade.  Lazzaro Bros is now in its fourth generation with a history of always supplying the best quality fresh fruit and vegetables at the right price and best possible service. Hours may vary on public holidays.
