Cork & Candles, an experiential scent bar with over 60 fragrances for guests to explore and choose from, is opening its third location this week! Set to open on Wednesday, July 24th, its new home at 3421 Walnut Street in University City invites locals, visitors, students, its community of entrepreneurs, and anyone who enjoys crafting and entertainment. We are proud to support local foundations, having partnered with organizations like CHOP and Alex’s Lemonade in the past.
Located at Shop Penn in Penn’s Campus, 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.
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.”
We embrace a BYOB policy, where guests can bring their favorite drink and lite bites to enjoy during their candle-making experience, to savor the simple pleasures and richness of life with friends, family, coworkers, and their community.
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.
