Johnny Arnone had a store at 2907 Buffalo Road in Wesleyville, PA. Since it was right next door to where I worked, I'd pop in occasionally for some lunch meat. "Try this...try some of this," said Johnny Arnone, owner of the deli. He insisted that I was too skinny and was always trying to give me free food.

The store at 2907 Buffalo Road was torn down to make way for the new Country Fair store. Arnone's Deli moved to 3342 Buffalo Rd. Johnny and his wife have both passed away. Their son John Jr. runs the deli at the corner of Buffalo Road and Center Street in Wesleyville, PA.
