Charm defines the old-fashioned, mom and pop shops that remain in cities, towns, and villages across PA. Mom and pop shops often offer a personalized, friendly experience that may not be found at the big box retailers. We get to know the owners, enjoy leisurely chats, and shop in a quaint, comfortable setting. This supermarket – perhaps the oldest grocery store in Pennsylvania – promises an old-fashioned shopping experience right in the heart of Philadelphia.

Nestled in the Fairmount section of Philadelphia, Klein's Supermarket has been a favorite shop for generations of Pennsylvanians.
