Current locations (pictured);
Flushing, Queens;
Hyattsville, Maryland; and
Waltham, Massachusetts After starting out in Chicago, Patel Brothers was a major success with shoppers coming from all over the United States:
Wisconsin,
Minnesota,
Indiana,
Michigan,
Iowa, and
Kansas. The retail chain has spread across the United States, with a concentration in the Eastern United States. As of April 2023, the chain had 51 locations, 8 in New Jersey (notably along
Oak Tree Road in
Edison and
Iselin, which has three locations), 5 in Texas, 4 in New York, Florida, and Illinois each, and the rest are spread throughout the eastern United States with only two locations in the western United States: one store in
Santa Clara near
San Jose, California, and a second in
Chandler, Arizona, near
Phoenix. Patel Brothers are generally located in
retail parks along with other stores and restaurants. As of 2022, the largest and busiest store is the ultramodern branch located in
East Windsor,
New Jersey, which includes an outdoor
pani puri bar. The locations in
Iselin, New Jersey,
New York east of the
Garden State Parkway,
Jersey City, New Jersey,
North Brunswick, New Jersey and
Ridgeland, Mississippi operate under the
cash and carry concept. Several Patel Brothers locations including the
McKinney, Texas;
Naperville, Illinois; and
Monroeville, Pennsylvania stores have green and yellow
auto rickshaws near the store to maintain India's cultural identity in America. Some locations go by names other than Patel Brothers: the
Manchester, Connecticut store operates under the name Patel Foods. Patel Brothers is not affiliated with the gas station called Patel's Grocery in
Homer, Georgia, Shah and Patel Indian Burmese grocery store in
Rockville, Maryland, or Patel Foods Indo-Pak grocery store in
Overland Park, Kansas. The reason why many Indian grocery stores have similar names to Patel Brothers is that PB Brands, LLC only has trademarks for the names
Patel Brothers, ''Patel's
, and Patel's Cash and Carry'' and likely also because
Patel is one of the most common surnames in the US Indian diaspora. There are Patel Brothers locations on
Devon Avenue's Desi Street in Chicago,
India Square in Jersey City, New Jersey, and Patel Plaza (retail park leased by Patel Brothers) in
Decatur, Georgia, where they are located in ethnic enclaves known as
Little India, next to many other Indian restaurants and stores.
Former locations Previously in
Canada, Patel Brothers used to operate three stores in the
Greater Toronto Area in
Scarborough,
Etobicoke, and
Mississauga, which are now operated by Canada-based Panchvati Supermarket, and a store in
Sugar Land in
Greater Houston. ==Brands and products==
