A local bakery company that started in Buffalo is celebrating its 80th anniversary. Costanzo's Bakery kicks-off a week-long celebration starting this Sunday with a big employee event. WBFO'S Eileen Buckley toured the bakery in Cheektowaga were those famous Costanzo's rolls are baked.
In 1933 Angelo Costanzo senior founded his bakery on the City's West Side along the Niagara River. That's when he started delivering his homemade Italian breads to other small business. Later he relocated to a store at East Delavan and built a small retail operation. When he outgrew that site — the business was moved to Innsbruck Drive at Union Road in Cheektowaga.
"And we just recently released our retail packaging, and it actually is picturing my grandfather making a deliver to the retail stores back in the mid-1940's. So I think it would be something really to be said to see the business prosper all these years, and kind of be a mainstay in Buffalo and the region," said Angelo Costanzo, III.
