Seabra's Market was founded in 1971 by a Portuguese immigrant named Americo Nunes Seabra. Americo immigrated from Portugal in 1967 with his wife and six children in search of the American Dream. When he arrived to this country, he settled into the city of Newark and worked as a butcher to support his family. He soon realized that there was a large Portuguese community in search of typical Portuguese products that were not readily accessible in the US.
