Peter Ninios
Peter NINIOS, 70, who for 38 years operated a candy and ice cream business in
Rochester, was found dead in bed this morning at 10:30 o’clock. Mr. Ninios resided in an upstairs
room at his store adjoining the Berghoff cafe, 1617 Main street.
Death was due to a heart attack and came as a considerable shock since he had not
previously been ill.
A native of Greece, where he was born at Ammos on Aug. 15, 1888, Mr. Ninios came to
the United States about 1909. He lived in Moline, Ill., and then in Chicago before moving to
Rochester.
He and his cousin Louis [NINIOS], opened the New York Candy Kitchen in 1921 at the
building at Ninth and Main streets where the Marathon service station now is located. Later, they
started the Berghoff cafe in the corner room of the building adjoining the Candy Kitchen. Another
cousin, Christ [NINIOS], joined them in business later.
