Vote for the Best New Business of 2011

What new operation made the biggest splash last year?

 

The Ardmore-Merion Wynnewood Patch wants to know what your favorite new business of 2011 was. 

Was it Di Bruno Brothers and their delectable offerings? The wonderful niche of specialty shop A Taste of Olive? Does Affordable Home Furnishings deserve a vote for taking over the big space left behind by Borders in Wynnewood?

How about the kumpirs and smoothies at Firinji? The eclectic and welcoming Case Gallery, Main Line also made its debut in 2011. 

Vote for your favorite in the survey below and don't forget to click on the links above and rate the location on its Patch Place listing. You can even leave a review.

If there another local spot that we missed, tell us in the comments section below.

In the event of a tie on our survey, we will break the tie by counting the positive comments written below about the tied businesses, so please let us know why you think your choice is best.

I love Case Gallery! It's always a pleasure to stop in and talk with young owner Ann Casey, she is one of the best photographers in the area by far.

DiBruno's cheeses are unlike anywhere else. You would have to get on a plane to taste most of these wonderful things.
Thanks for giving us the world.

Marie, which kind would you recommend? I was thinking about stopping in this week since I've never actually shopped there!

I really like the Pet Valu in Ardmore West shopping center. It has three self wash dog baths, lots of pet supplies and is very clean. I know. I work there.

Di Bruno Brothers is not only the best place to go for cheese, but the customer service is out of this world. When I walk in there I feel like I have known these people for ages!!!
