Lillian Teitlebaum Zabar, who fled the pogroms of her homeland, went to the United States and became part of an American success story, died yesterday in Manhattan. She was 90, or perhaps 92 or 93. Mrs. Zabar was a founder with her husband, Louis, of Zabar's gourmet delicatessen and food emporium on Broadway at 80th Street in Manhattan. The business was started in 1934 in Brighton Beach and now has about 35,000 customers a week and $40 million in sales a year, her sons Stanley and Saul said last night.
According to Saul Zabar, his father, Louis, was born in 1901 in Ukraine and came to the United States through Canada in the early 1920s. That was after Louis's father, a merchant, was murdered in a pogrom. Louis Zabar first lived in Brooklyn, and he soon rented a stall in a farmer's market. In 1941 he opened a store in the third building north from 80th in the old Calvin Apartments, which was by that time a hotel. He gradually built a network of other small markets, and when he died in 1950 he owned 10 Manhattan stores.
