I had some time to kill while in Philly last month for Christmas. Wandered around Center City for a while before popping over to Old City to check out the United By Blue flagship location.
United By Blue, founded in 2010, believes in sales with a purpose. Everything they offer is responsibly made and the company removes one pound of trash from oceans and waterways through cleanups for each product sold. Located in an early 1900s building, their flagship store uses repurposed materials to create the open and homey environment that invites you in for a cup of coffee and retail therapy. The store serves ReAnimator Coffee, roasted locally in Philly. Ample seating and a comfy, sink-yourself-in couch offers space to catch up with friends or with work. Above the retail store is United By Blue headquarters! All the magic happens here.
