Retailers & Shops

Philadelphia Is The City — That Loves You When You Shop

Philadelphia has a rich history of retail and design visionaries past and present. One need not go back as far as the venerable John Wanamaker to establish our fashion pedigree. Adrienne Vittadini, Ralph Rucci, Jones Apparel Group and of-the-moment designer Tory Burch all have Philadelphia roots. Urban Outfitters and Destination Maternity founded their companies here and are still headquartered in Philadelphia.
