Amoroso's Baking Co., the fifth-generation Philadelphia family-owned-and-operated bakery launched in 1904, has announced a refreshed brand identity. The branding and design aims to honor Amoroso’s history while positioning the company for continued growth and relevance with today's consumers.

The rollout of updated branding is currently underway across product packaging and in-store merchandising at retailers nationwide including Acme, Aldi, Giant, ShopRite, Wegmans, and Weis. Similarly, owned channels for web, marketing, and social media have been refreshed. The refreshed look incorporates modern design elements into a near exact replica of Amoroso’s logomark from the 1970s, maintaining the red and green color palette central to the company and its Italian heritage.

This evolution comes at a momentous time for both the company and its hometown. As Philadelphia takes center stage during the nation's 250th anniversary celebrations, Amoroso's is embracing the city's enthusiastic sandwich culture that has sustained five generations of the brand, the company says. Amoroso’s is also emphasizing the role family-owned businesses have played in shaping the city, it adds.

For more than 120 years, Amoroso's has been a staple on family dinner tables, in neighborhood sandwich shops and grocers, sporting events, celebrations across the Philadelphia region and beyond, the company notes. The refreshed identity reflects the company's commitment to honoring that legacy while continuing to evolve for future generations of customers, it says.

"Amoroso's has always been more than a bakery, it's a family-owned and operated brand woven into the fabric of Philadelphia and the communities we serve across the country," says Jesse Amoroso, president and COO of Amoroso's Baking Co. "As we enter our next chapter, we want our visual identity to better reflect both where we've been and where we're going. By drawing inspiration from our past, we're celebrating the generations of customers who helped build this brand while introducing Amoroso's to new audiences in a way that feels authentic to us."

Today, Amoroso's products can be found in grocery stores, sandwich shops, stadiums, and schools across the country, serving as the foundation for sandwiches. While the look may be evolving, the company's commitment to quality remains unchanged, it says.

The brand’s new packaging is on store shelves now. The brand refresh extends to social media @amorososbaking, its website, and across all marquee partnerships like within the Philadelphia Eagles’ Lincoln Financial Field.
