Summary
McDonough’s Market marked seventy years in business with a May 10, 2003 picnic in its parking lot. The crowd was large enough that Islanders organized seated diners in shifts.
Evidence limits
The newspaper report documents the anniversary celebration, not the market’s complete ownership history or founding record.
