Opening of Shop

In the spring of 1983 Wolcott's local grocery store Pikwick was closing its doors. Wolcott residents Patsy and Rose DiSapio heard the news and decided they wanted to make a go at opening their own grocery store. Patsy was a full time carpenter, and Rose a saleswoman at G-Fox. After searching for a distributor, they were lucky enough to partner with Bozzuto’s right in Cheshire Connecticut. With Patsy’s extremely strong work ethics and Carpenter experience he was able to flip the business around and open Pat's IGA’s doors for the first time in Summer of 1983.

90's

Named after their late son Pat DiSapio JR, Patsy and Rose with the help of their kids started their journey as Wolcott's new grocery store. The family was extremely happy in their new job positions and quickly realized they were out growing the space they started in. In the early 90’s Patsy got rid of their closed in sidewalk and extended the face of the store. The family was finally getting comfortable in their positions and growing the business to better serve Wolcott. Michael DiSapio was running and shaping the meat room and deli into the two departments you have all come to know and love. 

Watching his mom Rose cook in the store for customers Mike quickly realized the needs for catering and prepared food. While his wife Nicole DiSapio worked alongside Rose in the bakery, learning to bake from scratch, and making custom cakes. Patsy found his comfort in the produce department with his nephew Carmine DiSapio JR. While their son Carmine DiSapio ran the groceries.

2000's

In 2009 Mike took ownership of Pat's IGA with his wife Nicole. Over the years Mike’s three children Mike JR, Gabriella, and Mark started to learn the business. Now Michael Jr runs the catering, prepared foods, and deli. Mark runs the meat room and seafood department. While Gabriella works in the bakery department. All five family members still value every lesson Patsy and Rose taught them. None of us would be where we are today without them, and their lessons they instilled in us growing up.


 We are lucky enough to say we are not just three generations in, Mike and Nicole's granddaughter Rose, Gabriella's daughter will soon be serving the town of Wolcott like her great grandparents!
