NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Joe Gentile started working with his dad at his small farm stand at age 7 in Broomall 1954. It soon became known as 'Gentile's Market' and moved to its current location in Newtown Square in the early 1970s.

70 years later, the Army veteran and cancer survivor still loves his job and has no plans to retire.

Joe, along with his parents and 8 siblings, all worked at the market in some capacity over the many decades. The roster has expanded to include in-laws and children of the family's next generation.
