Wright's Gourmet House

About Wright's Gourmet House:

My Grandparents, Marjorie and Pete Wright, Started This Company On April 20, 1963 in A Tiny Storefront With Second-Hand Equipment. They Had Lots of Ambition and Sought To Be the Best by Offering the Best. the Original Wright's Gourmet House Began As A Gourmet Shop: Imported & Domestic Delicacies, Fresh Coffees & Teas, Exotic Spices, Unusual Cheeses, and Fresh-Roasted Meats. They Planned To Be Tampa's Purveyors of Truffles and Caviar As Well As Gourmet Salads and Homemade Desserts. But How They Ended Up Opening the Shop Is A Story in Itself. When Marjorie Coggins and Pete Wright Met in 1962, Neither Had Any Idea That Their Lives Would Change Even More in the Coming Year. Widow and Widower, They Met Late in Life After Their First Spouses Had Died. All of Their Children Were Grown, Out of the House, and Starting Their Own Families When Pete and Marjorie Married Later That Year.. Grandmother Had Worked Her Way Up the Ladder and Was Director of Admissions At Tampa General Hospital. She Had A Scrapbook of Newspaper Clippings About Her Work, Including A Feature Story About Her From the New York Times.
