With four kids, both parents working full time to pay the bills was a necessity. This left little time to raise the four children. Michele had been working at Caruso’s Deli for over three years, and Dave was a personal trainer. They were open to options, but there weren’t many options that would give them the freedom that they were looking for. They wanted to share work and raising the kids. When the opportunity to purchase the deli came along, they snatched it up. They put their strong work ethics and love of life into taking over the store. They have kept the store thriving, and their family has benefited from the business immensely. The kids love going to “work” with mom or dad, and they appreciate having a parent available to come help at school or coach their teams.
