“This locally owned Children’s consignment store is a gem to our town. The fact that it is owned and operated by a small family who live in the community makes it even sweeter. They haven’t even been opened a year, but have help hundreds of families receive affordable, top quality children’s clothing, books, toys & more. This family works tirelessly to provide the best quality items. I have been in their store numerous times. They are friendly, polite and always a pleasure to speak to. We are very lucky to have them in our town.”

“Char & Stave has become my go-to place for meetings with clients and other professionals. It has such a great vibe – hip, cozy, fun. The coffee is great. And the people working there couldn’t be nicer. There’s always a mix of people – young and old, meeting and working by themselves, relaxed and all business. Char & Stave is definitely deserving of a LOVE Award and is such an asset to our Main Line community!”

“Cimino’s Barber Co. is a family-owned barbershop that goes above and beyond to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all clients. From their exceptional haircuts to their sensory-friendly options for neurodivergent children, they tailor every experience to meet the needs of their clients. They’ve partnered with local organizations to provide back-to-school sensory-friendly haircuts, celebrate milestones like their one-year anniversary with community-focused events, and offer complimentary behavior consultations for families. Cimino’s Barber Co. is not just a barbershop; it’s a place where everyone feels valued, making it a standout in both service and heart.”

“The owner is really, really nice and donates to a non-profit charity regularly. Whenever we visit her store just to play in the play area and not even shop, she is always greeting us with a smile and spends quality time with my son in the play area!”

“Best selection of current, adorable yet affordable modern clothes, accessories and gifts. Best jeans under 100$ that fit xxs to 3x. Appropriate for preteens through great grandma’s. The owner Ashley is a stylist that actually has style. Everyone calls them selves a stylist now but she knows her customer very well. As an MBA and marketing professor who taught at Villanova, she hits the strategy plan perfectly. She stocks the store with the Appropriate merch, knows what looks best on customers and is a ray of sunshine. She holds many events where proceeds go to local charities, participates in local events to help & get a pulse of what locals need. MLF deserves this!”

“Every time I have gone to Motion’s staff has excelled at creating a personal experience for dancers searching for necessary supplies. They have everything a dancer could need and also offer gymnastics and praise dance clothes as well.”

“Philly DIY was able to bring to life an idea I had for a gift. They were able to create the design I had in mind and engrave a gift that I had brought to them. Vikram’s communication was great and the turn around was quick. I highly recommend Philly DIY’s services!”

“I worked with Stacey to create a custom anniversary band. She walked us through the process every step of the way and partnered with us to create something that complemented my engagement ring perfectly. It is a beautiful piece that I cherish and Stacey was so wonderful to work with.”

“Susan is a truly unique and special stylist. I’ve had the chance to work with her on 1:1 styling, styled photoshoots and other creative projects where her perspective is part of the mix. Every time we have worked together, Susan brings such an honest and refreshing perspective, helping everyday people to feel their best. Susan’s recent venture into color analysis makes it so much easier to choose clothes that feel good and to walk out into the world with confidence and vibrancy without breaking the bank. I recommend Susan for this Love award because she puts so much love into what she does and changes so many people’s lives!”

“I was looking for gifts for a friend’s son and thought that baseball cards would be a good option. I have driven by Wheelhouse multiple times and decided to stop in. They couldn’t have been nicer. They took the time to work with me on pricing and on figuring out something fun and unique. I’ve since been back multiple times both for myself and for gifts, and have consistently had the same level of service. Really great guys who care about their customers, especially the children. I’ve watched as they’ve gone above and beyond in setting up events especially for children and giving kids free cards just to put a smile on their faces. This store really is an asset to our community!”
