guercio's italian import

guercio's italian import store is a mainstay on grant street. not only do they supply fresh produce and import goods to the culturally diverse inhabitants of the west village, but they supply fresh produce to most of the independent restaurants in the inner city. as their business grew, so did their need for cold-storage warehousing. instead of  abandoning the city, they purchased an adjacent property around the corner and added a 5000 sf warehouse to the back of their store.
