Who doesn’t love an old-fashioned general store? One of life’s great pleasures is leisurely strolling trough aisles stuffed with beautifully packaged goods and glass cases full of delicious, homemade treats. One of Megan’s favorite places to explore where she lives is The Pennsylvania General Store is a retail and mail order company selling Pennsylvania-made foods and crafts located in the historic Reading Terminal Market.
Just a quick train ride from her house, the market was founded by her friends Michael & Julie Holahan in 1987. The store is an eclectic mix of products representing the best of locally made foods & crafts. Megan designed the packaging for the delicious Rosie’s Butterkins cookies and the Pennsylvania General Store cocoa, which she gave a personal touch of history to by using an adorable photograph of her grandmother when she was a little girl.
Besides the “Keystone Crunch” carmel-popcorn, her favorite PA General Store treat is a chocolate covered pretzel! In addition to the beautiful store, they also assemble wonderful gift-baskets that can be ordered online and shipped anywhere.
