Fox & Holly
Karen Thompson, Founder
Fox & Holly, a boutique department store formerly located in Doylestown, recently re-opened its doors in Peddler’s Village.
The department store, formerly located in a big-box setting in Doylestown as a pop-up in 2018, won the hearts of the community for being a place not only with the industry’s best brands, but a place where anyone can shop and feel welcomed. The store continued to stay open due to the popular demand, but had to close in March due to the mandated shutdowns.
Founder, Karen Thompson, made the difficult decision to not immediately re-open Fox & Holly (F&H) after the government shutdown ended.
“I was so sad to have to close the pop-up location,” said Thompson. “Realizing 26,000 square feet might not be the easiest to navigate at this time. I had to look at all options to create something new again…something again unique. I wanted to create a new wave of a boutique department store, filled with the brands our guests love. I have always believed that when one door closes, another door opens, and when I walked into the new space that in the past I loved as ‘Left Bank Home’ and ‘Village Flower Shop’ I had a vision… a multilevel shopping experience.”
Karen Thompson’s company, LSL Brands, launched its first shop, Lace Silhouettes Lingerie, in Peddler’s Village in 1988, and quickly became a popular store for visitors. The store still operates in its original space, and the company has since become a successful and prominent anchor in the village over the last 32 years with six additional retail brands: Cotton Company, Signatures, Village Outfitters, Sunflowers, Farmer’s Daughter and Fox & Holly. All of the brands, except Fox & Holly, were introduced in Peddler’s Village, though the prosperity of the brands led Thompson to expand her operations to Cape May and Princeton, New Jersey for decades. Now, Fox & Holly (F&H) joins her family of brands in Peddler’s Village.
Fox & Holly celebrated their grand opening on Friday, October 9 with a pink ribbon cutting ceremony and special surprises. In addition, the store supported the Pine2Pink non-profit organization that raises money to benefit local breast cancer patients, by donating a percentage of sales.
Farmer’s Daughter
Peddler's Village, Lahaska (Shop 161A)
Farmer’s Daughter reopened in a new location in Peddler’s Village on Thursday, October 8th. This store will be a seasonal pop-up offering all the fall change-over needs of the community including bedding, towels, linen and more with the quaint sophistication of Bucks County that every local loves.
“I was waiting for the perfect Peddler’s Village location,” said founder, Karen Thompson. “A specialty store like Farmer’s Daughter deserves a special location…and when I saw the shop next to the new Fox & Holly, I thought it was a perfect fit.” Many have been anticipating this store to re-open since it first opened in 2017 and had great success. Many loyal shoppers love the store for its unique home goods offerings.
Thompson noted that “now more than ever, the home is where we are spending most of our time, and now, we have the perfect location to offer the community all their at-home needs, and a little retail therapy!”
