Mom and Pop – and the Kids Too! Because I was born in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and grew up there, I knew of several famous family members that resided in and around the certain area who added to Pittsburgh’s growth. There were the Carnegies, the Mellons, Westinghouse, and the Heinz family-who don’t love Heinz ketchup right? Zambelli Fireworks provides pyrotechnic displays for more events than some other company in America and the average year for them includes over 2, of July 000 displays-most on the 4th.
Back in 1893, Antonio Zambelli arrived to America from Italy and began the business which still keeps its hq in New Castle, Pennsylvania (a suburb of Pittsburgh). For generations, the business has remained in the family and is now overseen by George Zambelli, JR., M.D., who’s the Chairman of the business.
Because George Jr. is a physician, the Zambellis have hired on George Taylor to perform the show until the young Zambellis can take over operations. That is no small company. Who knew Antonio’s fantasy would take the corporation so far in the world of fireworks and spread the world with oohs and ahs from their innovative and exciting displays?

Today’s Omaha Steaks isn’t just about steaks anymore-they sell lobster and even complete foods. J.J. Simon left Riga Latvia in 1898 with his child B.A. Ellis Island, they took a train until they found land that reminded them of the farmlands of Riga. That, my friends, was Omaha, Nebraska. It had been a meager beginning when the business was only available in 1917, but the Simons were already known for the most tender and flavorful meat.
In 1929, B.A.’s child Lester joined the business and in the 1940s, with the Union Pacific Railroad looking for top quality food to serve on its trains, it became their largest customer. It was in the mid-1950s when Lester decided Omaha Steaks is actually a mail-order company providing their frozen cuts from Omaha to homes all across America.
By 1963, still working under the initial name of the business, the Table Supply Meat Company, catalogs were delivered to customers offering meat, poultry, fish and a variety of sumptuous food, now vacuum packed for freshness. The Simons became quite successful sending cuts of meat to the White House and to international clients. By 1987, the Simon family got a complete call center with a toll-free number for instant purchasing. Today, the business has over 1.5 million customers.
