Alfred Furia has spent decades in the dining business, specializing in the Italian cuisine recipes that came out of his family’s kitchen in South Philadelphia when he was growing up.

Now Furia wants to renovate a vacant and dilapidated building on Haddonfield Berlin Road in Voorhees — near Evesham Road and the Cherry Hill border — and open an Italian-food themed restaurant for take-out or delivered meals.

The Gloucester County resident is scheduled to go before the Voorhees Planning Board next Wednesday seeking approval for preliminary and final site plans to convert the property that once housed an accounting firm, but apparently has been empty for years. The white building on the corner of Hudson Avenue is across Haddonfield Berlin Road from the AutoZone Auto Parts store and the Ritz Car Wash.

“It will be all me,” Furia told 70and73.com in an interview on Tuesday. This is the next step in his food service career and he would handle the cooking and oversee the daily operations, he said.

Furia was general manager of 300-seat caterer Occasions by Galdo in South Philadelphia before it was forced to temporarily close during the COVID-19 pandemic.
