Salvatore Galluzzo and his wife came to Australia from Calabria in 1927, bringing with them one year old Frank.
Circa 1934 Salvatore bought the fruit shop at 187 Glebe Pt. Rd. from Francisco d'Albora.
Frank attended Glebe Public School where he was an average student and got up to quite a bit of mischief ... or so he says!
Years later young Frank took over the shop and with his wife Melina turned it into the thriving business it is today.
They have one daughter and five sons, all of whom grew up understanding the workings of the shop.
Today Joe and Damien keep the shop running and the staff are made up of Glebe locals.
Frank has diabetes 1 and at 82 years old is now blind and wheelchair bound and spends his days upstairs in the private quarters of the shop being spoilt by his many children and grandchildren.
