Cornersburg Italian Specialties store has been a staple business on the westside of Youngstown for decades. And although ownership has changed over 40 years of business, the products that its customers have grown to love and expect have remained the same.

Tony Tringhese – who owns the store alongside his wife, Patti, and daughter, Katie Salupo – said it is a great idea to recognize local businesses and will be sharing the news of his stores’ recognition with everyone he sees. “We were told, when we bought it, by strangers even, that they love the food and do not change things,” he said. “[They said] make sure everything is the same, so it’s a thrill to own this. We’re obligated to our customers.”
