Di Bruno Brothers announced that three of its five retail locations will close in the coming weeks. The specialty grocery chain confirmed the closures to Action News.
The affected locations include the 9th and Chestnut Street store in Center City Philadelphia. The Ardmore location in Suburban Square will also close. In addition, the Wayne store at Strafford Shopping Center is on the closure list.
Di Bruno Brothers will continue operating its two flagship Philadelphia stores. These include the Rittenhouse Square shop and the historic Italian Market and Bottle Shop on 9th Street.
The company is also increasing its focus on its growing online business. Leaders believe this shift will help expand the brand beyond its physical store footprint.
In a statement, the company said its flagship locations represent the classic Di Bruno Brothers experience. The online store now offers customers another way to access the brand.
Di Bruno Brothers described the move as a “positive reset” for the company. Management said the goal is to protect the in-store tradition while expanding brand reach.
The company also emphasized its long-term commitment to the brand. Leaders said preserving its heritage remains a top priority.
