Southwestern Pennsylvania-based Bruster’s Real Ice Cream is expanding in the Pittsburgh area.
A new store coming to Shadyside will be opening soon. A representative for Bruster's says they're aiming for the end of September, but an exact date has not been announced.
And, the original location in Bridgewater is getting a complete renovation.
The location on Riverside Drive, is being upgraded with a new design, digital menu, larger patio and the first Bruster’s drive through in the area.
That location is also expected to open soon.
“This reinvention is a letter of gratitude to the community that raised us. We have been making the freshest, most premium ice cream in Pittsburgh for 36 years and take great pride in sharing our traditions with the Beaver community and beyond,” said Jim Sahene, CEO of Bruster’s Real Ice Cream. “We’re modernizing features that enhance the guest experience while preserving the heart of what makes Bruster’s special—fresh, handcrafted ice cream served with a smile in a fun environment where memories are made.”
Starting in Beaver County, Bruster’s now has 218 locally owned and operated stores in 24 states and has five locations in the South American country of Guyana.
Bruster's just celebrated its 35th anniversary last year.
