Mario Di Leone has had the same job since he was 23. But on March 15, when his eponymous Cherry Creek (CO) store closes, it’ll mark the end of a nearly 50-year-run for the purveyor of designer Italian threads at 280 Detroit St. “I always wanted to move back home to Italy, and this has just become the right time,” the 70-year-old told BusinessDen. “I think the fat lady sang.”
For the next several weeks, high-end brands like Agnona, Malo and Colombo will be on sale at Di Leone’s store. He described his inventory as “sophisticated” and said he has mostly sport coats and outerwear available for men and sweaters available for women.
