"I either had to sell or try. I chose to try,"
"There's a romance about what we do."
"We have a modern appearance, but we really do things the way they were done 40, 50, 75, even 200 years ago."
Saul Zabar died at 97 after being hospitalized with a brain bleed, confirmed by his daughter, Ann Zabar. Zabar's was founded by Louis and Lillian Zabar in 1934, and Saul took over after Louis's death in 1950 at age 49. Saul had intended to become a doctor and left the University of Kansas to help his family, expecting a temporary role. He spent the next 70 years running and expanding the family business into a famed Upper West Side food emporium at 2245 Broadway on the corner of West 80th Street. He continued visiting the store regularly after turning 97 and oversaw counters selling about 2,000 pounds of smoked fish and 8,000 pounds of coffee weekly to nearly 40,000 customers. He emphasized maintaining traditional methods alongside a modern appearance.
