With a new 30-unit apartment building going into the Springfield Avenue location that has housed Di Pietro Foods for more than 40 years, it was clear the great Italian food shop would have to close or move.
Now comes word on their Facebook page that that will be happening.
See below:
We will be closing our store on Saturday, September 10th.
We would
like to take this opportunity to extend a most heartfelt thank you all
of our customers who have visited our store over the last 41+ years. To
those of you who we see on a daily or weekly basis, you are not just
customers to us, but you are family. For that, we are forever grateful
and we treasure these relationships.
A tremendous thank you, as well, to Maplewood – it is truly our home. We feel very blessed and fortunate to have been a part of this wonderful community for so long – four generations, in fact!
We hoped for a seamless transition to a new location; that did not work out, but our plan IS, indeed, to reopen.
This is very bittersweet for us. To say we are sad about closing our
Maplewood storefront is an understatement, but we very much look forward
to what the future holds. Please feel free to call in/leave us whatever
contact information you feel is the best way to reach you and we will
be happy to contact you as soon as we are reopening. We will keep our
Facebook page as updated as possible.
We hope that whether you’ve
stopped in once or if you are a regular customer that we have made your
experience a unique and memorable one. Thank you for all of our
wonderful memories. We look forward to making more!
Mille grazie!
Lucy, Alfonso, Josephine, and Jennifer
