"I wanted to thank you for the fantastic article you did on the Riddell Bowl! Outstanding and reminded me of the old Grantland Rice days when football was reported in such a great way. The kids appreciated the entire article and the most professional way it was done."

WPCNR MAIN STREET JOURNAL. From Charles Aris. (EDITED) January 14, 2003: That Heavenly Coffee, Chock Full O' Nuts, a trademark of New York City may soon be elbowing out Starbucks for a piece of the Westchester coffee action. Joseph F. Spiezio III is bringing it to Westchester.
Joseph F. Spiezio III, Chairman of the newly created American Café Group, LLC, also owner of Joni Management & Realty Services, has purchased area representation and development rights for “Chock full o’Nuts is the heavenly coffee ™…” from Sara Lee
Corporation for a major part of the East Coast.
“I will conduct this business in a fashion similar to the manner I conduct Joni Management & Realty Services, LLC. that is, with
passion, focus, and drive to achieve a proven recipe
for success." Siezio said in a statement.
"A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Sara Lee Corporation, Chock Full o’Nuts ® is backed by the financial strength and stability of a $22 billion
company. Sara Lee is now the second largest coffee roaster in the world. We are excited to part of this strategy; looking forward to opening hundreds of retail operations in the coming years,” noted Mr.
Spiezio.
Peter Tiberi of New Rochelle, New York, has been named President of the company. Peter brings his talent and expertise garnered through an enviable history of operations in major national food and retail
companies. American Café Group, LLC. will be headquartered in Yonkers at Joni Management & Realty Services, LLC. main corporate offices in Yonkers, New York.
Nick Tarsi, Mr. Spiezio's partner stated, “I am delighted to be a part of the coffee business. We will develop and build locations on the East Coast selling franchises to qualified people who want to be
in the driver’s seat through the experience and rewards of ownership.”
Spiezio and Tarsi have together developed a formidable real estate portfolio. The company has focused its most recent efforts in Yonkers, fourth largest city in New York State, without losing sight of its real estate roots.
"My partners and I look to continue to grow in Yonkers, hiring local residents to fill positions in our various entities,” beamed Mr. Spiezio. Being Chairman of the Board of various business ventures affords me the opportunity to be a ‘good citizen.’ That is the impetus of my business investment demeanor. The Chock Full o’Nuts ® franchise concept will allow investors to get into the hottest trends in
foodservice today!”
