Hannibal IGA

The Mirabito family business started in the living room of Ross and frances Mirabito's home on Erie Street in Fulton back in 1928. The early years were expremely difficult for the Italian Immigrant. Frances tended to 11 children and watched the store during the day while Ross worked a full time job at the old Arrowhead plant in Fulton. This was truly a family business from the start. The company has survived the Great Depression, a World War and all of the other strains and difficulties which threaten a business over time. The Village Market started as a small, 2-aisle storefront in what is now the entrance to Hannibal's Post Office in 1972. A local farmer, Bob Scott, suggested to Fran Mirabito that he come to Hannibal and provide folks out here with the same quality foods and service which was available in the Fulton stores. After a fire, 4 moves and a lot of hard work from dedicated staff, the present store was opened in 1990 on Charlene's birthday, October 13th. Although the faces have changed over the years, the one constant has been the same commitment to quality products, friendly customer relations and dedicated employees. With your help, our company will continue to succeed the way it did when Ross and Frances first started on September 17, 1928
