Red Front

Our Cast of Characters

This is our Cast of Characters!
And trust us, to work with us, you need to have a personality built for show business :)
Nick
 
Hey, that's me! SO, you're probably asking, "Why are you taking a picture of yourself???"
I'd probably answer, "Because I was happy that day :)!"
My name is Nick and I am one of the owners of the Red Front, version 21st century.
I am a son of a hard working man whom I respect as my role model. I am a 12 year
veteran volunteer fireman that believes in giving back to my community. I have grown up
in the food service business and was made to be that way. Dad used to drag me out of bed
when I was 13 on Saturdays to come into work with him.

I welcome you and your family to join me for breakfast, lunch, and dinner at our second
home called the RED FRONT. We are a family owned, multi-faceted retail business that not
only makes fast food, but we also have a Liquor Store to serve our adult population in their
quests to celebrate anything in life.

My favorite meal from our establishment is the Red Front Royal. The marriage between the
grilled Italian Sausage and the grilled capicola and onions only to be encased in provolone
cheese and wrapped in musturd and lettuce (for the crunch effect) is just wonderful and
its makes my mouth water when I think of making it - YUM!

Our place is alot of fun! We have live entertainment everyday and we always have smiles
on our faces, but we are human so cut us some slack :)

I look forward to greeting you and yours at our humble home where you can get fed right
for a good price and leave with a happy smile! Thanks! GO BILLS!

Dad - The Original Nick

No, he isn't as old as the building! But close :) Good thing he doesn't know how to use the computer because he'd smirk. He has also lost more than 80 pounds since this picture was taken in 2008.

Dad was the founder of our current Red Front location. His background was in carpentry and left a struggling 1970's Florida market to be his own boss here in Rochester in 1972.
He still has the first key to open the place, but he can't remember where he left it.

Mom - Carol Penna


My mother - what a whipper snapper she was! She could do anything and for many years served as the backbone to our Red Front. Sadly, we lost Mom to cancer back in 2005 and it hasn't been the same since. We love you and miss you very much!

Robert


Robert started with the Red Front when he was 17(ish).
 He's been here longer than the dirt on my front lawn!!! He speaks mostly Puerto Rican, but English is understood and vocalized. He was never tough enough to finish the tattoo around his arm.Robert has always said that he really missed his true calling- stand-up comedian, but then again, he stands most of the day!!

______________________________________________
Ron & Lori


Lori & Ron have been with the Red Front since the early 90's. Nearly all the Taciones have worked for us at one point or another. Each of their kids have grown up waiting on our World-Class clientele! While Lori anchors our front end staff, Ron delivers all over Downtown Rochester in a dire effort to prove that the Yankees are God's team of choice!

Jasmine (aka JAZZ)


Jazz started with us one day and she hasn't left yet! SPunk and Attitude with a smile serves our patrons at the Red Front. You'll see her serving burgers in the day and then our dollar shots at night. Ask her why she likes it HOT!

The Red Front Guy!


Originally developed by local artist and friend, Michael Sparling, in August of 1996, the Red Front Guy became our logo and mascot. Mike can be found at mrscribbles@excite.com or 585-237-5050 where he takes a simple
scribble and makes it into art. He teaches art to kids and provides personal lessons.
