As an ongoing effort to raise awareness to the strength and health of the business and residential community in Middlefield Village, Ohio, Council voted several months ago to purchase T-shirts for residents and businesses to proudly wear and showoff.
After picking up their t-shirts, the owners and staff at Ferroni’s Allegro Cafe & Bistro posted to the Village Facebook a fine photo displaying the shirts and their pride in this community. The caption to their photo said, “Our family moved to the area in 1989. The older Ferroni kids remember getting ice cream at Conley’s and shopping at Ames and Sparkle Market, and we’ve watched this Village grow so much! Along the way, our family opened our coffee shop cafe, Ferroni’s Allegro, and thanks to the support of our community, we’ve grown too! Every year this community shows us so much love and support and we’re so grateful. Our family and our family business has grown strong in Middlefield!”
On Saturday, April 16, Mayor Ben Garlich and several Council members met at the café to thank the Ferroni team for their support in this effort.
“This is a shining example of a family that “grew strong.” It is a local business that is definitely a product of a strong family pulling together to create a successful business, and a family that in addition to running their business are ardent supporters of their community,” said Mayor Garlich. “We could all learn from their example of supporting family and community.”
Since 2012, the Village Council adopted the mottos “Middlefield Means Business” and “Where Families Grow Strong.” Businesses like Ferroni’s prove these mantras true.
