In 1911, John Valentino came to America from Italy to work at the Hamilton Watch Factory. After 13 years, he had saved enough money to purchase the Red Rose grocery store on Rider Avenue. He then returned to Italy to marry his wife Anna. They returned to America and ran the business as a barber shop and grocery store, where Anna made and sold homemade Italian food. In 1937, they obtained a restaurant liquor license and turned the barber shop into a bar room, where Anna continued to maker her homemade spaghetti sauce.
