History: When Emanuel Gracioppo opened Standa in 1962 he was helping immigrants like himself buy the basic items they needed at low prices. He started off in a small location of 1000 sq.ft. and now it's grown to the beautiful building it is today and it is still run by his children. Standa has not changed its strategy and continues to offer multilingual staff for its customers along with quality goods at excellent prices.
