Celebrate Small Business Saturday, November 27^th, by visiting one of the many local businesses launched by Solo tenants. We pride ourselves in helping our commercial tenants establish businesses that bring valued services to the community.

Doggie Style Pets, 1635 Spruce St.

This is your go-to shop for all things canine, as well as feline, aviary, and reptilian. They stock all the accessories and foods you need to keep your pets in prime condition. Where else can you find bakery fresh treats for your French bulldog to distract him from your bagel? 

Doggie Style Pets has also partnered with Saved Me, a local nonprofit and no-kill organization that is focused on saving dogs and cats from shelters that are forced to euthanize due to the limited amount of space. At every Doggie Style Pets store location, they have two Saved Me dogs looking for their “furever” home. While you’re there shopping for pet supplies, you just might meet your new best friend! To learn more about Doggie Style Pets, check out our feature on them here.

Yaas’ Fruitea Cafe, 1200 South St.

Make this your stop for exotic teas, coffees, and delectable baked goods. A Boba Tea shop with an enticing dessert menu that includes Crème Brulee, panna cotta, cream puffs, petite cakes, muffins, and cookies. Stop by to pick up some and add these treats to your holiday celebrations.

Philly Art Collective, 253 N. 3^rd St.

This innovative gallery run by 21 area artists features monthly shows, studio space, merchandise made by member artists, and a directory of its members. We especially like the beautifully printed Afro Cubism illustrations now available on the site. Just add a frame and you have a special holiday gift.

Irina Segal, 2038 Locust St.

When the occasion calls for the talents and artistry of a couture dressmaker, bridal parties, society hostesses, and celebrities call on the services of Irina Segal. Named Best of Philly by Philadelphia Style Magazine, Segal offers a level of workmanship and creativity normally only found in Paris designer salons. This is where you bring your wedding gown for alterations or for an original custom design for that holiday gala.

Kei Sushi, 1711 South St.

We love sushi and nobody does it better. With just 24 seats, plus four chairs at the bar, this is an intimate little restaurant with big ideas. These stunning sashimi and sushi party platters make holiday entertaining a breeze. Check out their lunch menus and affordable dinner options – a welcome alternative to standard American holiday fare. To learn more about Kei Sushi, check out our feature on them here.

Plus all your favorites – tacos, nachos, enchiladas, quesadillas, fajitas, etc. Dine or order online.
