Zabar's INC.
About us | In 1934 louis and lillian zabar started zabar's by renting an appetizing counter in a daitch market. Louis had a philosophy. He would sell only the highest quality smoked fish at a fair price. He wanted his customers to trust him and he wanted them to become "regulars". He traveled to the smokehouses and sampled the smoked fish himself. He refused much more than he accepted. He developed a reputation of being hard to please. Over the years lillian and louis took over the daitch market - and zabar's was born. Louis worked long hours; he roasted his own coffee. He hand selected every item that zabar's sold - always wanting to give his customers the best available at a "fair" price. The store was his life. Louis died in 1950. Saul and stanley zabar took over running the store. Eli zabar, their youngest son, was still in school and would help out by working evenings and weekends. Stanley applied himself to the business issues, and saul became involved with the smoked fish, coffee, and day to day store issues. It wasn't easy but zabar's flourished. Over the years the store expanded, taking over neighboring stores, as they became available. Saul and stanley hired murray klein to run the retail operations. In the mid 1970's zabar's opened the mezzanine. The mezzanine offered kitchen appliances and gadget from every corner of the world. Remaining true to louis zabar's philosophy whatever was sold had to be the best quality and the price had to be right. |
