T and F Deli located on Ridge Avenue is celebrating its 25th anniversary this week.

The Italian style deli specializes in produce, sandwiches, lunch meat and much more.

Owner Tony DeLizzio wrote the following message on his Facebook wall thanking everyone for their support over the years:

25 years ago a dream came true. That dream: T and F Farmers' Pride. With the everlasting help, love and support of my mother, my father was finally able to say he opened a business, a place to call his, to call theirs, to call ours. Sacrifices were made, plans were changed, countless hours were spent working to better the business. And through the good and the bad, the business made it. The T&F family pushed the business forward, working hard to make sure every patron knew just how special of a place it was. In turn, the community gave their undying support. Helping a small business survive, helping a family eat every night, helping put kids through school, and showing everyone that dreams can come true. Happy Birthday T&F! And thank you to all those that have helped throughout the years.
