"The Rittenhouse Square shop and the historic Ninth Street Italian Market and Bottle Shop continue to embody the classic Di Bruno 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 shared with Action News 6abc. "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."
According to a Patch of Radnor report, brothers Joe and Danny Di Bruno opened the original location for Di Bruno Bros. at 930 S. Ninth St. in Philadelphia's Italian Market in 1939. The company still maintains its original location, a historic bottle shop at 920 S. Ninth St., and a Rittenhouse location at 1730 Chestnut St.
