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.

Founded and still run by the Klein family, the quaint supermarket first opened its doors in 1892.

Shortly after immigrating to America from Russia in 1892, Simon Klein learned that his younger brother ran a corner supermarket in Philadelphia. The elder Klein then took over the management of Klein’s Supermarket.

The longstanding grocery store still maintains that old-fashioned charm of more than a century ago. Klein family members are always ready with a welcoming smile. And, the store often opens when other shops normally close. (Check out the picture below.)

In fact, the family prides itself on providing its customers with high quality products at “reasonable prices” and a positive experience.
