While the amount of digital and new technology shops increase, there are still a few out there that believe in the “old school” way of doing things. Old Stone Marble Works in Ronkonkoma, NY, is one of those shops. The business first opened in 1987 and was known as Titone Marble Works. In 1995, the shop moved about 2 miles down the road and opened up as Old Stone Marble Works.
“It’s a family business we run — everything we do is a team effort, we work with our hearts,” said Maria Titone, owner of Old Stone Marble Works. “I am proud that my dad started 20 years ago here. I still keep my maiden name for those reasons.” The company runs no advertisements, with the closest exception being business cards; the business it receives is primarily generated from recommendations and referrals.
