MELVILLE,N.Y. — Uncle Giuseppe’s Marketplace is continuing its expansion across Long Island, with two new stores set to open this year as part of its steady East Coast growth strategy.
The Italian specialty grocer will open a new location in Greenvale on Aug. 14 and plans to launch a second store in Levittown during the fourth quarter, according to co-founder and CEO Carl DelPrete.
The Greenvale store will occupy a 52,000-square-foot former Stop & Shop site at Wheatley Plaza, while the Levittown location will fill a 50,000-square-foot space previously occupied by King Kullen. Both supermarkets closed in October 2024.
The new stores will feature the chain’s signature offerings, including fresh mozzarella made daily, house-made pasta, full-service butcher and seafood departments, scratch bakeries, prepared foods, cafes, delis, pizzerias and salad bars. Each location is expected to employ about 250 full- and part-time workers.
The company also announced plans to hire approximately 250 team members for the new store as part of its broader plan to hire approximately 1,000 team members over the next 12 months as Uncle Giuseppe's continues to grow across the Northeast, including New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The new Greenvale marketplace will create a significant number of jobs on Nassau County's North Shore, with openings across all departments, including deli, meat, seafood, bakery, prepared foods, produce, grocery, cashiering, customer service, and management. Skilled food professionals are especially encouraged to apply, including bakers and bread makers, cake decorators, butchers, seafood mongers, pizza makers, pasta and mozzarella makers, baristas, chocolatiers, and other culinary and fresh-food specialists.
In addition to generous benefits, a 401(k) with company match for eligible employees, and a 25% employee discount on purchases, select positions, including experienced Deli Specialists, offer pay up to $25 per hour based on experience and qualifications.
"Our team members are the heart and soul of every Uncle Giuseppe's," said Carl DelPrete, CEO and co-founder of Uncle Giuseppe's Marketplace. "We are a company that believes in made fresh, sold fresh every day in every store, and it takes hardworking, dedicated people who care about the food and care about the customers. We are always looking for the best people to join the team, become part of the Uncle G family, work hard, learn, grow, and be part of something special."
Located at 130 Wheatley Plaza, the new Greenvale store will serve communities across Nassau County's North Shore, including Greenvale, Roslyn, Old Westbury, Brookville, Glen Cove, Oyster Bay, Locust Valley, and surrounding areas.
Uncle Giuseppe's is seeking both full-time and part-time candidates, with opportunities for experienced food professionals as well as individuals looking to begin or grow a career in the grocery and hospitality industries. Walk-in interviews are also available at the on-site hiring trailer at the Greenvale location on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Uncle Giuseppe’s currently operates 12 stores across New York and New Jersey, including eight on Long Island. The two additions will bring the retailer’s store count to 14 by the end of 2026.
