Maglio's opens a market in South Philadelphia

Maglio Sausage Co. has opened an Italian-specialty foods market, carving out part of its production plant on Third Street below Pattison Avenue (3632 S. Third St.). It's just down Pattison from the Sports Complex.

Customers used to wait on a loading dock and give orders to a guy at the counter. Now they head inside for Maglio items, Dietz & Watson meats and cheeses, breads from Cacia's Bakery, prepared foods, a sandwich bar, desserts, produce and imported products.

Ribbon-cutting will be 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 3.

Hours: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday (early hours for Eagles home games).
