Trustee Stephanie Ganzi helps mark Tom's Market 65th anniversary at Bartlett opening
Summary
Trustee Stephanie Ganzi joined local business owners to celebrate the opening day and 65th anniversary of Tom's Market in Bartlett, where speakers highlighted the market's history, family involvement and an upcoming redevelopment collaboration with the village.
Trustee Stephanie Ganzi of the Village of Bartlett opened the event and introduced Tom and Liz Hallett, saying the market was present for the community's opening day. "Hi, I'm trustee Stephanie Ganzi, and I'm here with Tom," Ganzi said, urging residents to visit the Route 20 location for opening-day offerings.

The speaker also said they looked forward to working with the village on the site's redevelopment. A separate presenter noted the market has been at the location for 65 years and recounted that the business began with selling sweet corn out of the back of a pickup truck, framing the market as a multigenerational local institution. Ganzi closed by inviting the community: "Today's the day, Bartlett. Tom's is open, so come on out and get all your favorite produce," she said.
