In case you missed it, Glorioso’s Italian Market is back! The Brady Street stalwart, 1011 E. Brady St., quietly reopened last week following months of reconstruction due to an October 2025 fire. Now, Glorioso’s has scheduled a proper grand reopening that will also serve as its 80th anniversary celebration. The fun will begin January 19 and run through February 28.
“Our grand reopening 80th anniversary milestone celebration is not just about looking back, it’s about honoring the journey and the people who made it possible,” says Carmine Presta, president and co-owner, in a press release. “From our founders Joe, Eddie, and Teddy Glorioso and our dedicated employees, past and present, to our loyal customers and vendor partners, everyone has played a role in shaping the Glorioso’s Italian Market story. We are deeply grateful for the eight decades of trust and letting us be part of your lives. We look forward to creating memories and new experiences together for many more years to come.”
Here’s what’s in store for the six-week celebration. Drop by for more information on the rewards, contests, and giveaways. And drop by just because Glorioso’s rules, and because it’s back!
