Retail

While the closure of the Heirloom Market at 801 Market Street is disappointing news, Center City and the surrounding neighborhoods have welcomed 18 new supermarkets since 2010, with another five expected to open before the end of 2025. Together, they allow nearly 110,000 residents to access groceries within a five-minute walk.

Center City continued its steady process of recovery in June and during the first three weeks of July with pedestrian volumes reaching 92% of 2019 levels. The robust recovery of residents and visitors has led the way, while the number of workers in June approached 100,000, attaining 76% of June 2019 levels.
