Ten years ago in May 2016, I took a gamble and opened our family's second Amazing Olive location in Patchogue. I invested all of my money, time, energy, and passion into a community that was just beginning its incredible transformation. Looking back, it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
From day one, Patchogue welcomed us with open arms. Over the past decade, we've had the privilege of serving thousands of wonderful customers, meeting amazing people, supporting local events, and becoming part of a truly special community. The friendships we've made and the support we've received have meant more than words can express.
This milestone wouldn't have been possible without the people who helped bring this dream to life. I want to especially thank my father, Ralph, my then girlfriend and now fiancée, Cathy, and one of my best friends, T.J., who spent countless late hours helping me build out the shop from the ground up. Their hard work, dedication, and belief in this vision made opening our doors possible.
A heartfelt thank you also goes to my parents, family, and friends who volunteered their time, offered encouragement, and were there every step of the way. To all of our incredible employees—past and present—thank you for your hard work and for helping make Amazing Olive what it is today.
Most importantly, thank you to the Patchogue community for embracing us, shopping local, and allowing us to be a small part of your lives over the last 10 years. Your loyalty and support have made this journey unforgettable.
Here's to the past 10 years—and to many more to come. Cheers to 10 years in Patchogue! 🫒 🍇 ❤️ 🫒 🍇 ❤️
