Primanti Bros., the iconic Pittsburgh sandwich chain, has closed two of its locations: the original Strip District spot for renovations and the downtown PPG Place restaurant permanently. The Strip District location, the birthplace of the Primanti Bros. sandwich, is undergoing a major remodel to enhance the customer experience and preserve its historical character. The company plans to reopen the updated Strip District location in the fall of 2024.
The closure of the PPG Place location is permanent, attributed to financial difficulties and the changing downtown landscape. The chain cited the pandemic’s impact, altered work patterns leading to decreased foot traffic, and the rising cost of operations as contributing factors to the decision.
While the PPG Place closure is disappointing, Primanti Bros. emphasizes its ongoing commitment to Pittsburgh. The company reassured customers that it continues to operate numerous other locations in the region, including Market Square, Oakland, and multiple suburban sites.
