A historic deli in the heart of Ivyland Borough is considered one of Bucks County’s oldest general stores, writes Dino Ciliberti for The Patch.  

The store, founded in 1873, originally sold groceries, hardware, linens, and clothing. It’s believed that shoppers would travel from Philadelphia to purchase the goods.  

Today, it stands as a one-stop shop for snacks and hot meals. For the past 25 years, owner Jim Primodie has been running the store and has designed the store to reflect its past with an assemblage of vintage and antique items.  

Despite a recent pandemic and having to spend $85,000 on repairs fifteen years ago, the Ivyland Country Store has continued to thrive.  

“We don’t compete against Wawa, we’re in a unique location in the middle of nowhere. It’s unbelievable the business we do,” said Primodie.
