The “Sacro Companies” have been serving the
needs of Everett citizens for over 60 years.
Salvy J. Sacro began his career shining shoes, setting up bowling pins in
Glendale Square, and had four different newspapers routes in Everett. Sal
began building wood window cornices for his newspaper customers in his
parent’s basement on Carlson Street. His talent was quickly recognized
and at age ten he was hired to build and install his first complete set
of kitchen cabinets. “Sacro Kitchens” was born. Always a hard worker,
he opened a kitchen cabinet showroom in Glendale Square. Later he
purchased the same building at the corner of Broadway and Ferry
Street. He gained valuable experience renovating apartments over the
showroom. Sal developed Glendale Court Apartments next to Eastern
Bank and Sacro Plaza in Everett Square to serve the housing needs of
Everett’s residents. He later developed affordable retirement housing at
the original Everett High School on Summer Street which is now the
Whitney-Lorenti House named for two of his valued employees. One of
Sal’s mottos has always been, “bad things happen for good reasons”. Sal
makes Everett his home and continues to serve Everett’s housing needs.
