Leo's Bakery & Deli

Hard work has always been part of the Bernunzio family. Leos president Pat Bernunzio jokes that growing up in the Bernunzio family required an eight-day work week. Working for his father at Ran Cora Bakery in Webster every weekday, and three shifts on the weekend was so inherent that when Pats future wife first asked what his typical days off were,... he didnt know how to respond.
