MELONIS

In the summer of 1994, the family opened the doors of Meloni's Butcher Block, located in Washington Twp, NJ. Being the perfect location for their Italian specialty shop, the Melonis began serving the people of South Jersey the finest in fresh meats and deli products... Since 1938, the Meloni Family has been serving high quality food to their nearby neighborhoods. The tradition began in the heart of South Philadelphia on the corner of Iseminger and Tasker Streets where Joseph Meloni Sr. opened his first butcher shop. From there, the family patriarch started his second store, located on 13th and Dickinson. This is where he taught his son, Umberto, the inter-workings of the business. One of the main lessons that Joseph Sr. taught his son was to "always let the customer know how much you appreciate them." This mindset continued with Umberto when he left his father to start his own business in Ventnor, NJ.
