Shopping

Robin's Picks
Shopping is one of the Main Line’s most famous attractions. Shoppers can chose from
a wide range of specialty shops and major department stores, as well as from different
types and forms of shopping centers. The Main Line has two of the nation’s most famous
shopping malls: Suburban Square, in Ardmore, and the King of Prussia Mall, located 10
minutes away. The region offers every type of retail imaginable, and you can find anything
you need on the Main Line towns.

An outdoor shopping mall with lots of trendy boutiques, Suburban Square offers both
specialty shops as well as mainstream stores, such as Ann Taylor, Banana Republic
and Gap. It also has one of the most outstanding Farmer’s Markets, open six days a
week, where you will find the tastiest and freshest foods and fruits.

Wayne and Haverford Square are also good
shopping locations in the Main Line. Wayne,
with its rich history, almost takes you back in
time and offers shoppers a more hands on,
crafty experience. You can enjoy movies in
Wayne’s old movie theater, as well as many
afternoons painting pots in some of its
charming and rustic pottery stores. Haverford
Square, with its handcrafted gifts and jewelry,
and its fine clothing for men and women,
also offers shopping experience.


You can really find it all in the Main Line: the funky, the trendy, and the most fashionable.
The Main Line is truly an assortment of a wide selection of shops and stores that cater
to your home, your family, and yourself.
