About Us
The Watertown Meat Center is located in the heart of Watertown, CT right across from the Watertown Library. It has been a staple in this town for over 33 years, always known for bringing its customers the best quality meats, deli, seafood & produce around. The current owners, Jessica and Carmine DiSapio Jr, took ownership on April 16, 2016.
Carmine Jr started in the grocery business when he was 14 years old working under his grandfather Pat, at Pats IGA in Wolcott. In 1991, his mother and father opened Pat's Marketplace in Watertown, where Carmine was the produce manager until the fall of 2003. From 2003 until this April, he has worked for his Uncles at Pat's IGA in Wolcott as their produce manager. Now, Carmine and his wife, Jessica, have started a new venture together at the Watertown Meat Center.
They have three sons, Mitchell, Carmine III, and Jack.
Jessica, as well as her parents, were born and raised in Watertown and still lives in town with her husband and three sons. Graduating from Watertown High School and from Central Connecticut State University with an Elementary Education degree. When the children were very small, Jessica did the bookkeeping for her father-in-law at Pat's Marketplace, getting her first and only experience in the grocery business until now. In 2000, when her oldest was three, she took over her mother's preschool, Ledgewood Private Preschool. In 2004, she opened at daycare in Thomaston, Ledgewood Too!
She retired from teaching in 2020.
It's been six years now and we still love what we do!
