It's a typical New York story, but it's still important: After a century of selling pork, a Brooklyn butcher has decided to retire.

A genuine message was displayed in the front window of G. Esposito & Sons Jersey Pork Store in Carroll Gardens. Alongside an advertisement for ravioli and a statue of an aproned pig, a letter was posted above a Zagat award, addressing their patrons. The heartfelt letter expressed gratitude for their customers' loyalty and mentioned how difficult it was to say goodbye after operating for 100 years. The Espositos signed off with love and announced that their last day of business would be on April 10th.

The beloved restaurant that serves heroes is closing down for good, according to reports from The Post and Eater. However, the reason behind the closure remains unknown.

Since 1922, an Italian neighborhood has been receiving classic Italian foods from a small business owned and operated by a family. The founder of the business migrated from Naples and started the business on Columbia Street before settling in the current location at 357 Court St.

The name "Jersey" is a reminder of Esposito's beginnings, where they only sold pigs from New Jersey.

Nowadays, the source of the meat is located in the Carolinas. Nevertheless, the worn-out reddish canopy still boldly showcases the name of the Garden State. It sits above a line inscribed in white about providing catering services, along with the store's 718 contact number.

Although the stock has changed over time, the small family-owned business that has been around for three generations always places emphasis on maintaining fresh products.

According to George Esposito, who runs a physical shop that specializes in mortadella with his brother, John Esposito, they have been selling more of some items and less of others, but fortunately they are surviving and doing well. In 2015, he shared with Gothamist that the key to keeping a business afloat for almost a century is passion. When you love what you do, you pour your heart and energy into it.

For a while now, the brothers have been aware of the inevitable fate of the butcher shop. Despite pouring all their effort, passion, and premium Parma ham into their business, they know that the expensive property market will ultimately force its closure.

George Esposito stated in 2019 to Bklyner that unfortunately, the future seems to be approaching its end. He explained that they have been in business for 100 years, but because of the direction the business is going, they did not urge their children to take over. They are growing older and will eventually have to close down.

Back in 2012, John Esposito expressed his confusion regarding how folks can afford to pay rent in this area. He conveyed that he worked tirelessly for 12 hours each day and was unable to take a break on Saturdays.

The local area could potentially lose something truly unique, one of the few remaining examples of a type of place that is slowly disappearing in a city that is constantly becoming more upscale. Nevertheless, the individual will be able to have a relaxing Saturday morning in bed.
