Title
Padow's Hams: Hams and More
Description
The Padow family has a long tradition in the deli, grocery and ham business. In 1936, George Padow opened his first grocery and retail outlet in the historic Jackson Ward area of Richmond, Virginia. The Company quickly became a household name and established its reputation as a purveyor of delicious quality hams and meats at reasonable prices; a tradition the family has maintained for over sixty years.
A generation later, George's sons Sidney and Eddie, had the vision and determination to adapt the Company to meet the changing needs and demands of its customers and the marketplace. In the mid-80s, they decided to leave the grocery store format behind to establish specialty retail food shops to go along with their international mail order business.
In 1988, they opened their first Padow's Hams & Deli serving a variety of sandwiches, home made soups, and salads in Willow Lawn Shopping Center in the West End of Richmond. A second shop was opened in the Stein Mart Festival Shopping Center on the city's Southside in 1990. A third shop was opened at 1110 East Main Street in the heart of downtown Richmond?s financial district in 1992.
