We love a good throwback and Facebook tends to be a treasure trove for all things vintage. This gem came up today, giving us major nostalgic vibes. The popular Piscopo’s Cash and Carry outlet in St Paul’s Bay shared some stunning shots of their original store, previously known as “Ninu’s Family Store.”

“We’ve been digging about came across some hidden treasures from back in the day,” the shop’s Facebook page said. “These photos date back around 70 years, back to when our late grandfather - known as Ninu amongst many - started the business.”

“We cannot imagine how proud he must be looking at how far his vision has come, as we aim to carry on his legacy for years to come.”
