"The owner of a decades-old Staten Island bakery is putting his business up for sale. Alfonso’s Pastry Shoppe, open since 1978, was listed last month for $2.2 million; the bakery’s current owner, Anthony Campitiello, is looking for someone to take over the business. “You know when it’s time,” he told the New York Daily News. The bakery was started by Anthony’s father, Alfonso Campitiello, an Italian immigrant who died in 2020 at the age of 81. His father’s death, plus the pandemic, prompted the younger Campitiello to sell." - Luke Fortney
