We are thrilled to announce that Cork & Candles is opening its third new location in the vibrant Shop Penn Retail District! This expansion brings our unique BYOB candle-making experience to University City, where guests can create, drink, and connect while hand-pouring custom candles. We’re set to open this Wednesday, July 24th at our new home located at 3421 Walnut Street. 

Ed Datz, Penn’s Executive Director of Real Estate, expressed his excitement, stating, “We are delighted to welcome Cork & Candles to the Shop Penn Retail District family. Their commitment to providing an exceptional experience aligns perfectly with our vision for the district. We believe that Cork & Candles will not only enhance our diverse retail offerings but also provide a warm and inviting atmosphere for both locals and visitors to enjoy.” 

This new 2,465 square-foot scent bar captures the essence of being outdoors in a warm and rustic environment. Imagine a place where time slows down, where the golden light of the setting sun beams a honey glow through a bountiful vineyard. This is the essence of Napa Valley, where rustic charm meets sophisticated elegance, the inspiration for Cork & Candles’ relaxing ambiance.  

David Straub, our Co-Founder and CEO, shared his enthusiasm: “Our mission at Cork & Candles is to create a space where friends gather and have the opportunity to build connections while partaking in a creative experience. We look forward to becoming an integral member of this dynamic district and contributing to its continued activity.” We’re looking forward to making new friends and engaging with new and existing local partners in this buzzing location.  

We invite you to join us for a creative and fun-filled candle-making experience. Visit us at our other locations in King of Prussia and Center City, and stay tuned for our upcoming franchise location in Ardmore, PA, opening this Fall.
