From Humble Beginnings
In 1956, a young 13-year-old Eusebio Marcocci and three of his older brothers departed their family in war-torn Abruzzo in Italy to find a new home in Australia.
In 1960 Eusebio opened the first large scale butchery in Melbourne and called it University Meat in Carlton. He looked after his customers and business thrived, expanding to 49 retail butcher shops throughout Victoria.
