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!!

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.

You can see our Red Front LIquor staff, below, with Tina, Nick, and Stephanie. Teshonna not pictured here.

'Tina does double duty with us, working in the Liquor Store in the morning, serving dollar shots, and working the night shifts in the Restaurant Monday and Tuesdays.
Stephanie Robertson
Steph has also been with us for about two years now (July 2011). SHe started in the Restaurant and then found her way to our nighttime clerk in the Liquor Store. Although, you'll still see her cook every once in a great while. She is on the Left of the below pic.
Just a word about Steph, she doesn't like to be around people that smell, so take a whiff before you enter.

Don is our go-for.... enough said.
Russell started back with us this Summer (2011). He delivers and runs around the CIty for things we need. Say HI when you see him!
