DGC Capital Contracting Corporation (DGC) completed Uncle Giuseppe’s in North Babylon, N.Y., a 32,420-square-foot store with a new 3,586-square-foot mezzanine.
DGC Capital was retained to convert an old King Kullen supermarket into an architectural masterpiece that is reminiscent of Old World Italy. Featuring arches, Italian tile and a fresco of the sky over the produce department, the atmosphere puts shoppers in the heart of Venice. The entire construction project took a total of 16 weeks, starting in mid-August of 2020 and finishing in early December with the store opening on Dec. 18, 2020.
The marketplace includes all new utilities, such as:
- A modern kitchen with cooking hood.
- A fresh mozzarella room that is temperature-controlled with a mozzarella-making machine.
- A fresh pasta room with multiple pasta machines, and a bakery with enough ovens to accommodate everything the store makes being produced in-house.
- A new mezzanine, located in the rear of the store, which includes a manager’s office, human resource office, IT room, storage rooms, associates’ restroom and a breakroom.
“Because of our ability to meet such a demanding construction schedule and the outstanding reception by the community, DGC is teaming up with Uncle Giuseppe’s again on two additional projects in Westchester County, N.Y., and Morris County, N.J.,” says Gerry Ryan, CEO and president at DGC Capital. “We’re extremely pleased with the outcome of the store and are beyond thrilled to have been brought onboard to create two additional marketplaces.”
