A New Home for a Culinary Pioneer

Di Bruno Bros. is a family-owned specialty food retailer in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Two brothers, Danny and Joe Di Bruno, opened their first market in 1939, providing the local community with grocery items and imported foods. By 1965, Di Bruno Bros. expanded its products and became a world-class gourmet cheese shop, branding its location the “House of Cheese.” Today, Di Bruno Bros. has multiple European style marketplaces across the region and an online store offering fine cheeses and meats, quality gift items, and extensive catering services.

 

Di Bruno Bros. engaged Watchdog to provide project management services at its new location in Wayne, Pennsylvania featuring specialty foods, a coffee bar, a full production kitchen for chef-prepared premade meals, and room for culinary demonstrations. Watchdog partnered with the Di Bruno Bros. team to provide insight into the construction process. The team analyzed the cost of requested changes and modified construction phasing to accommodate the client-approved amendments.
