Since 1928, Suburban Square has been known as a shopping area, and over the years it has evolved to become a retail and restaurant destination that's home to a list of well-known retailers including Williams-Sonoma and Kitchen Kapers kitchenware stores, Apple and more. In 2003, Suburban Square expanded with a brand new building for the Ardmore Farmers Market. Unlike traditional farmers markets where vendors operate seasonally and out of the back of their vehicles, this market is a fully enclosed building with permanent, year-round tenants.
The market is vibrant and thriving with 16 specialty retailers that include Great Harvest Bread, Cupcakes Gourmet, Saxbys Coffees, Stoltzfus Fresh Poultry and more.
The upscale suburban location is ideal for Di Bruno Bros., notes Emilio, who is the company's vice president of culinary pioneering. "They (area residents) don't do a lot of cooking at home, so it is a great prepared foods and cheese area."
Previously, part of the space was a Downtown Cheese Shop operated by Jack Morgan, who scaled back to one location inside Philadelphia's Reading Terminal Market. Morgan contacted Di Bruno Bros. in Nov. 2009 about the Ardmore space.
In the end, Di Bruno's expanded the cheese shop, and is leasing 2,600 square feet of retail space.
For Di Bruno Bros., the goal is to expand its business while coexisting with diverse vendors, explains Bill, the company president. In fact, the Ardmore location is right across the street from Trader Joe's.
When asked why they opened directly across from the value-priced retailer, Bill cites Di Bruno Bros.' customer-service focused and knowledgeable staff and their different product offering that includes specialty foods from local companies and U.S. producers, Europe, South America, North Africa and Asia.
"Danny (their grandfather) taught us it is not productive to spend a lot of time worrying about competition," Bill says. "They come to Di Bruno Bros. because they want to come. We have a brand where people say, 'I want to go there, not I have to go.

Di Bruno Bros. also wholesales precut cheeses such as Huntsman, Jarslberg and Asiago. Also at the warehouse, Di Bruno Bros. makes 5000 pounds of fresh mozzarella a week, including three-pound loaves that are popular with its casinos and restaurants.
