Suburban Snacks: DiBruno Expands, Public House Closes, 401 Diner Adds CandleLight


The Ardmore location of DiBruno Bros. is expanding. DiBruno opened in April with  five stalls across two aisles of the market and in the first week of December, will add a sixth. The additional space means additional products. Look for pasta, sauces, breads and deli meats to be added.

The 401 Diner in Conshohocken has added candlelight dinners and BYOB. [Full Menu]

The chef/owners of Charcoal BYOB have opened The Snack Shoppe in Yardley. The lunch option offers dishes like Sous Vide Cold Fried Chicken with house ranch and Sriracha plus sides like salt, pepper and vinegar chips. Sandwiches are $5.50 to $8.50.

So Fun! Frozen Yogurt is opening this December in Wayne. Located in the Wayne Shopping Center, next to Five Guys, the shop will offer 16 flavors of frozen yogurt daily. This is the second So Fun!, the first opened this past Spring in Easton. [So Fun! Frozen Yogurt]
