G. Esposito & Sons, Iconic Brooklyn Pork Store, Shuts Down After Century of Business

G. Esposito & Sons Jersey Pork Store, a beloved Italian butcher in Brooklyn, closed its doors after 100 years due to rising rent prices. The shop, which opened in 1922, was sold for $3.3 million. The Esposito family witnessed changing real estate prices and decided to close the shop rather than pass it on to future generations. Customers expressed their gratitude and gave gifts to the family on their last day open. Despite shutting down, the family's legacy might be sticking around for some time as several authors have approached them to publish their famous recipes.
