Business Details

A family of Greek immigrants decided on a new way of life in the United States. The Zaharako family gave up a successful general store and tailor shop in Sparta, Greece to relocate to New York City. They arrived at Ellis Island in 1898. The family’s stay in New York was brief. A daughter, Ellen, married and moved to Richmond, where her husband operated a confectionery.In the first few years the family lived in rooms above the store until 1914, but as children grew older, each set up their own homes. Lewis left the business in 1908 to move to Greencastle, where he established his own confectionery. Pete stayed with the business until selling his share in 1930. He died in 1931. His wife and children eventually moved to Lawrenceburg. It was left to James to provide the next generation of Zaharakos to manage the family business on Washington Street — Lewie, Manuel, Gus, Pete and George. All five of the brothers worked at the family shop in the 1930s. Gus eventually left to start a similar business in Lebanon, Indiana, and George moved to California. Lewie died in 1980, Manuel two years later.
