(First Look: Penn Fixture and Supply): We're thrilled to share some first looks at the transformation happening at 5850 Forward Avenue in Squirrel Hill, and wow, does it look good.

One of the most exciting parts of this project? We saved the iconic A-frame. That distinctive roofline has been a landmark along the Forward Avenue corridor for decades, and we weren't about to let it go.

"Preserving the A-frame was really important to us, it's a piece of the neighborhood's character, and it deserved a second life," said Jamison Juda-Combs, Director of Marketing at Brandywine Communities. "With the new storefront glass and modernized facade, it strikes that perfect balance of honoring the past while bringing real energy to the corridor."

The new storefront glass and modern facade are already turning heads and breathing new life into this stretch of Forward Avenue. Inside, Penn Fixture and Supply is building out a fully-stocked showroom that'll be a destination for chefs, foodservice operators, and anyone who loves to cook.

Penn Fixture is making their move this week 🚚 — follow their page for grand opening details coming soon!
