Every part of Philadelphia has its own character, and few areas are more vibrant and charming than Chestnut Hill, Mt. Airy and Northwest Philly.
The neighborhoods’ small businesses are a major factor in that character. Along Germantown Ave and surrounding side streets, you can find independent shops, local eateries, art galleries and professional services among the historic townhouses and picturesque parks and gardens. Entrepreneurs here are navigating changing economic demands while maintaining the strong community ties that keep the area feeling friendly and intimate.
For a second year, Technical.ly is partnering with the city Department of Commerce to tell the stories of small businesses from every corner of Philadelphia, with our ongoing article series showcasing these unique and varied companies that call Philadelphia home.
This roundup focuses on Chestnut Hill, Mt. Airy and other nearby neighborhoods in the Northwest. Check out the companies below and find out what’s available in the area.
