Capogiro Closing Philly Gelato Spots
Capogiro, the well-known gelato maker in Philadelphia, will shut down its shops this weekend after nearly 16 years scooping up delicious Italian treats for patrons.
The announcement came Friday in a short post to the small chain's Facebook and Instagram pages.
"With a heavy heart we say goodbye to the Great City of Philadelphia. It has been an incredible 16 years. Thank you for all the support and love. We will close our doors at midnight this Sunday, Dec. 9th. Please come and say goodbye," the posts read.
In an email to Philly.com food writer Michael Klein, owners Stephanie and John Reitano said the business was dealt a deadly blow from a massive fire next to their Old City pizza and gelato spot, Capofitto. The four-alarm fire along Chestnut Street in February destroyed a historic building. Damage and street closures hurt a number of businesses along the block.
"Growth capital was sought, but unfortunately potential investors could not see past the losses that we sustained from the February fire in Old City," the letter read in part.
Capogiro has shops at 13th and Sansom streets in the Gayborhood and 20th and Sansom streets in Rittenhouse. They also operated a seasonal location along Passyunk Avenue in South Philly.
The Reitanos told Klein they're "going back to the drawing board to plan [their] next steps."

Apartment Building Goes Up in Flames, Displaces Dozens
A massive fire broke out early Monday in a West Philadelphia apartment building, sending dozens of people out into sub-freezing temperatures as firefighters battled the flames for hours.
The fire broke out around 2:15 a.m. at the Overbrook Gardens apartments at North 63rd and Jefferson Streets in the city's Overbrook neighborhood.
Residents quickly heard alarms blaring and ran out with whatever they could hold, residents told NBC10's Randy Gyllenhaal.
Firefighters went door to door making sure the building was evacuated before they also had to evacuate the building due to concerns that the upper floors would collapse.
The fire quickly grew to a five-alarm response with more than 180 firefighters working through the morning to bring the fire under control. Two firefighters suffered minor injuries. No one else was hurt.
At least 50 people were displaced from the four-story apartment building. An American Red Cross shelter was set up at the nearby Commodore John Barry Elementary School. And, SEPTA buses were brought in to keep displaced residents warm.
Flames continued to pour from the upper floors of the building as of 6:15 a.m. The Philadelphia Office of Emergency Management asked that people avoid the area and expect traffic troubles.
SEPTA is detouring its Route 10 trolley and Route 31 bus service around the scene.
Salt trucks were bought in to de-ice streets and PECO crews worked to restore power, which was knocked out to more than 1,200 customers.
Ice coated firefighters at the scene. Firefighters were mandated to take shifts battling the flames so that they could warm up, the fire department said.
