Lasola's Market in Normandy Beach Sold: A New Chapter Begins
Lasola's Market: A Beloved Community Staple Sold
Lasola's Market and Deli, located at 3591 Route 35 North in Normandy Beach, New Jersey, has officially changed hands. After over two decades of serving the community with quality sandwiches and fresh produce, the market has been sold by real estate agent Robert Gillis of Bielat Santore & Company.
This community treasure has long been known for its one-stop shopping experience, especially treasured by tourists and locals alike during the bustling summer season from May to September. The previous owners, committed to maintaining exceptional quality, crafted all food offerings fresh daily using cherished family recipes that have withstood the test of time.
For years, Lasola's was not just a market but a place where families gathered to enjoy hearty offerings, spanning breakfast, lunch, and dinner. From BBQ essentials to custom-cut prime meats, the market became a staple that celebrated culinary traditions and strengthened community ties during the busy summer months.
A Transition of Ownership
In a statement reflecting on the sale, Gillis remarked, "This transaction was not only a meeting of the minds, but a meeting of the meats." Mid-Shore Meats, based in Toms River, was seeking to broaden its footprint within Ocean County, marking this acquisition as a strategic expansion into the picturesque Jersey Shore. Floating a rich history of over 30 years, Mid-Shore Meats carries a reputation for its extensive selection of homemade sausages, Italian delicacies, and specialty subs.
Gillis recognized that the blend of experiences between the buyers and the legacy of Lasola’s Market would serve as an enriching opportunity for both parties. He emphasized Bielat Santore & Company’s longstanding commitment to connecting buyers and sellers in a meaningful way.
Looking Forward to Summer 2025
As the new proprietors gear up for the 2025 summer season, they plan to uphold the cherished traditions established by the local family. To ensure customer confidence and brand stability, the former owners and key longtime staff will continue to work alongside the new owners, aiding in a smooth transition. This initiative aims to retain loyal customers while integrating new specialty products that reflect the evolving tastes of modern shoppers.
Lasola's Market will operate seven days a week during the season, closing only for the winter months, ensuring that it remains a focal point for fresh, quality food throughout the summer rush.
For the new owners, the objective remains clear: to blend Mid-Shore Meats’ established reputation with Lasola's rich history of service, ensuring that all offerings continue to be crafted with care and dedication. As they usher in a new era for this beloved market, customers can expect not just a renewed focus on quality but also the introduction of exciting new products in line with their tastes.
In conclusion, as the community of Normandy Beach anticipates the opening of Lasola's Market under new ownership, they also look forward to the continuation of a cherished tradition that binds the community together through quality food and service.
Lasola's Market has not just changed ownership; it has taken a step forward into a vibrant future that honors its past while embracing innovative changes that will cater to both locals and visitors alike.
