There is discussion among staff and managers at Pusateri’s flagship store on Avenue Road that the quality grocer is shooting to re-open in December in time for Christmas shopping. Pusateri’s was struck by fire Sunday, August 15, 2015. Investigation focused on something in the coffee bar and the fire has been declared accidental. It was unknown until damage had been fully assessed just how long it would take to open the doors again. Now as work continues inside it appears the principals feel it is a reasonable goal to open before Christmas.
