Santo Pelligra

 

Santo son of Corrado and Sebastiana Pelligra migrated from Sicily when he was at the young age of four. He was brought up in Richmond, later on he and his family moved from inner city Richmond to the suburb of Reservoir where he continued to grow up. The art of cake making caught his eye and he aspired to become a pastry chef. In 1985 he bought a small business in Greensborough at 68 Main Street. As time went on, with hard work and dedication from Santo and his staff, the business was able to grow and form a strong and loyal base of customers. With the growing pace of the business it was relocated across the street to 71 Main Street. Now as the business continues to prosper, only new and exciting things await.
