Stamford History Center Fundraiser
May 8, 2025
Stamford History Center celebrates history being made today and to coincide with our Stamford in the Gilded Age Exhibit we are proud to honor the Cingari Family for our 2025 Gala Fundraiser.
Few families are as deeply engrained in the fabric of Stamford as the Cingari family, longtime owners of Grade A Markets, known for their dedication to their customers and the larger community.
Not long after arriving in Stamford from his native Sicily, Salvatore Cingari bought an old school bus and converted it to a grocery store on wheels. In 1943, he opened the first Grade A Market, so named because of Salvatore’s promise that it would only offer its customers “Grade A” quality products. His sons Dominick, Rocky, and Sam eventually entered the family business, The Cingari family expanded their business steadily over the years. Today, a third and fourth generation of Cingaris led by Joe, Tom, Dominick, Tom Jr., John and David, operate twelve Cingari Family Markets across Fairfield County.
