Uncle Giuseppe’s Marketplace is opening its new store in North Babylon earlier than expected. Originally planned for a 2021 launch, the Italian market and grocery store is weeks away from opening at Sunset Plaza in a former King Kullen location.

A spokesperson from the company told GreaterBabylon the opening will be sometime mid-December. (Check back later for an exact launch date.) The new 39,241-square-foot spot in North Babylon will feature a full-service deli, specialty butcher, scratch-made bakery, and its popular pasta and mozzarella making stations.
