Ciccio’s Olives Celebrates Grand Opening of West Reading Store

West Reading, PA — May 21, 2025 — Ciccio’s Olives, an award-winning premium Italian extra virgin olive oil company rooted in Calabrian tradition, is thrilled to announce the Grand Opening of its first brick-and-mortar retail store and culinary classroom in West Reading, PA on Saturday, May 31, 2025. The celebration will kick off with an official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at 10:00 AM, followed by a full day of tastings, tours, and community connection until 4:00 PM.

The new Ciccio’s Olives storefront is more than just a place to buy olive oil—it’s a destination for Italian food lovers, home cooks, thoughtful gifters, avid travelers, and anyone passionate about Italian culture and authentic Mediterranean living. Guests will be invited to explore:

• Single origin, unfiltered, monovarietal Carolea extra virgin olive oils sourced directly from the Pugliano family farm in Southern Italy
  
• Imported artisan handmade Calabrian kitchenware and home goods, including olive wood tabletop items, handloomed textiles, and handpainted ceramics, well as olive-oil based bath and body items and hand poured candles, and much more
  
• A preview of Ciccio’s Cucina, an in-store classroom offering hands-on Italian culinary and artistic experience
• Information on upcoming Italy tours to the family farm with Calabria regional highlights
• Complimentary olive oil and local honey tastings, Italian bites, and grand opening specials

“Ever since our wedding in Italy and our sharing of the Pugliano family olive oil Stateside with our friends and family, we’ve dreamed of creating a business and a space where people can taste, learn, and fall in love with true Calabrian olive oil culture,” said Laura Pugliano, co-founder of Ciccio’s Olives. “This store is our love letter to Italy—and an invitation to our local community to experience it firsthand in our store and by traveling with us to our olive groves in Italy beginning this year.”

The new location marks an exciting milestone for Ciccio’s Olives, a brand that began bottling their third-generation family-farmed olive oil five years ago and has grown into an internationally-recognized name for exceptional unfiltered olive oil and immersive and educational food experiences.
