Weavers Way Co-Op Expands to Germantown: A Hub of Local Goodness and Opportunity

Weavers Way Co-Op is gearing up to open a new location right here in Germantown! This exciting venture promises to bring an array of benefits, including increased access to quality local food options, a boost in economic growth, and fresh employment opportunities that promise to invigorate the community.

Open House Success Sets the Stage

The recent Open House held at the soon-to-be Weavers Way Co-Op Germantown location, situated at 328 W Chelten Avenue, witnessed an incredible turnout of over 150 eager participants. Enthusiastic attendees had the unique opportunity to explore the space before the commencement of construction, gaining insights into the store’s plans and the cooperative philosophy driving it forward.

An Investment in Germantown’s Future

While at the Open House, Philadelphia Department of Commerce Director Anne Nadol, alongside Councilmember Cindy Bass, unveiled a $1 million city investment earmarked for the new Germantown location. This strategic move, backed by the efforts of Commerce’s Office of Neighborhood Economic Development team, reflects a commitment to fostering local businesses and propelling our community toward a brighter future.

Left to right: Anne Nadol (Philadelphia Department of Commerce Director), Emaleigh Doley (Germantown United CDC Executive Director), James Onofrio (Senior Director CDC Programs, Office of Neighborhood Economic Development), Karen Fegely (Deputy Commerce Director, Office of Policy and Strategic Initiatives), Yvonne Boye (Deputy Commerce Director, Office of Neighborhood Economic Development).

Anticipation is building as the construction phase readies to kick off in the upcoming months. Following suit, the recruitment process for pivotal management positions will be in full swing, paving the way for meaningful employment avenues within the community. Germantown United CDC will also play a key role, hosting informative sessions for local business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs keen on stocking their products on the store’s shelves.

The new market is located at the corner of Chelten and Morris. The property was an Acme market until the 1970s. It was last occupied by the JEVS Human Services, and has sat vacant for many years. The new store expects to bring more than 40 jobs to the neighborhood.

While supply chain considerations impact construction timelines, the opening date is yet to be determined. Early 2024 seems likely. (Fingers crossed!) Meanwhile, the adjoining Weavers Way Outreach Office at 326B W Chelten Avenue is buzzing with activity, hosting events and workshops and offering space for community engagement.

GUCDC Hosts Meeting on National Main Street Model

 As a result of our annual Board Retreat in October of this past year, Germantown United CDC (GUCDC) decided to adopt the National Main Street model as a way to guide our work as the commercial corridor manager. The Main Street Approach, a 4 point strategy to revitalize commercial corridors through community input and collaboration, was developed by the National Main Street Center, a subsidiary of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.  The meeting, held on Saturday, February 7,  was facilitated by Donna Ann Harris, a nationally recognized Community district revitalization and Historic Preservation consultant. Ms. Harris guided the meeting of 25 community leaders and GUCDC Board members and volunteers through the Main Street Approach,  and how it can be utilized in Germantown. GUCDC has established four committees to guide our work going forward. Those committees are: Promotions, Design, Organization, Economic Restructuring.

The Main Street ApproachTM is fundamentally a self-help program, that uses every kind of local asset—be they historic buildings, community organizations, and talented local residents who all join together to create events and projects make their downtown better. Local Main Street programs foster the creativity of community residents through committee work. Committees devise local projects to bring people back to shop and dine; ensure the district is clean, safe and attractive for shoppers; help existing business expand and recruit new, complementary business and finally create a management organization to raise funds, recruit partners, and communicate to the public about its work. Local Main Street programs are driven by volunteers, who learn about the market realities and make incremental change in the district over time.
GUCDC welcomes volunteers from the community to join these committees. Organizations that are already doing projects in the committee areas are also welcome to join,and/or include and inform GUCDC of their projects.

Re-imagining Maplewood Mall Festival, a “Germantown Renaissance” is Saturday, May 30th

Germantown, Philadelphia, PA (May 13, 2015) The 3rd annual spring Re-imagine Maplewood Mall Festival will take place on Maplewood Mall (between Germantown Avenue and Greene Streets) on Saturday, May 30th (rain date June 6th), from 12pm to 5:00pm. This free event will offer live music, fo
od from restaurants in and around the Mall (Flower Café, K&J Caribbean, and Little Jimmies), locally made arts and crafts vendors, and entertainment for children. This year’s festival features a solid musical lineup, with a special performance by Kùlú Mèlé African Dance and Drum Ensemble, one of the City’s oldest and most well-regarded dance companies.

Building on the immense successes of the last three Re-imagining Maplewood Mall Festivals, Germantown United CDC is working with community stakeholders and local businesses to host this year’s Festival.  Last year’s event drew hundreds of local residents, showcasing local talent and providing free family-friendly activities. The year’s event theme, “Germantown Renaissance”, is an opportunity to re-imagine Germantown, and Maplewood Mall, as an epicenter for creativity, music, food, literature, poetry and art.

“We want to not only showcase the brilliance of our own community”, said Germantown United CDC Executive Director Andy Trackman, “but demonstrate to Philadelphia that Germantown is a gathering place for the cutting edge in art and culture.”

In addition to Kulu Mele, the musical lineup also includes:

Jim Dragoni, a composer, guitarist and teacher with performance areas in blues, jazz and his own fiery original brand of hybridized cross genre art-music.

Bethlehem and Sad Patrick a vocal and guitar duo who specialize in songs of love, love lost, and love that would be better off lost. The duo recently released their first full-length CD, Did You  Ever Do?

Live from NYC DreamWolf viaawQward talent – Jendog Lonewolf & Yalini Dream joined  forces in 2011 to commemorate lives lost to police brutality. Rooted in ending the full     continuum of violence and exploitation from the intimate to the global, from the street to the  state, DreamWolf invokes a masterful collision of Hip Hop, poetry, theater & dance in their  collaborative work, Above Street Level.

Rhenda Fearrington a Philadelphia jazz legend. She delivers an authentic and warm presentation of Jazz standards mixed with Soulful originals. This well established jazz vocalist has a history of working with artists such as Roberta Flack and MTUME and kicked off the 2014 Center City Jazz Festival.

Yolanda Wisher & The Quick Fixx the group features Germantown born and Philadelphia- based poet, singer, musician, and educator Yolanda Wisher

The Re-imagining Maplewood Mall Festivals started in 2013 as an open-air café/block party,  and to engage with residents to re‐imagine what the Maplewood Mall could be: a space for families and neighbors to enjoy a nice afternoon out in Germantown. Since then, the event has grown to become an annual much-anticipated community festival.

“These festivals are an opportunity to bring the entire Germantown community together and support our locally based economy while helping to create the vibrancy that once used to exist in Germantown’s commercial district”, said Germantown United CDC Board President Garlen Capita. “Since the festivals started we have had a number of people recall their fond memories of shopping in Maplewood Mall. It is our hope that we can again make our corridors vibrant community spaces. ”

“Re-imagining Maplewood Mall is a labor of love and a chance for the community to show up and show out for each other. It is a true display of Germantown at its best and a reflection of how much this community cares”, said Event Coordinator Amelia Carter.

“The festival embodies our hopes and dreams for Maplewood Mall so get ready for a great day of fun and good food”, said Linda Samuel, owner of the Flower Café at Linda’s. “Our famous veggie burgers are just one of the many reasons to make it to the Re-imagining Maplewood Mall festival!”

Support for the event comes in part from this year’s sponsors: Philly Office Retail, Harvest Equities, Post Brothers Apartments, Loretta Witt at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Fox & Roach, REALTORS, Elfant Wissahickon Realtors, Jeff King, The King Agency Inc., Allstate Insurance Co., and Germantown Friends School.
