3 Di Bruno Bros. locations closing as company refocuses strategy

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — Di Bruno Brothers says three of its five locations will be closing in the coming weeks.

A spokesperson for the specialty grocery chain confirms to Action News that the locations include the store at 9th and Chestnut streets in Center City, the Ardmore store in Suburban Square, and the Wayne location in the Strafford Shopping Center.

Di Bruno Brothers says it is focusing on its two flagship stores in Philadelphia and growing its online business.

“The Rittenhouse Square shop and the historic 9th Street Italian Market and Bottle Shop continue to embody the classic DiBruno Bros. experience that generations of Philadelphians and visitors have cherished, while the expanding online business offers new customers another way to discover and enjoy the brand,” a spokesperson said in a statement. “By concentrating on these core elements, we believe this is a positive reset that allows us to preserve and elevate the in-store tradition while growing the brand’s reach in meaningful new ways.”

The company says it is deeply committed to honoring its rich heritage and ensuring its success for decades to come.
