Wynnewood

Wynnewood is a suburban unincorporated community, located west of Philadelphia, straddling Lower Merion Township in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania and Haverford Township in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, United States. The community was named in 1691 for Dr. Thomas Wynne, William Penn’s physician and the first Speaker of the Pennsylvania General Assembly. Wynnewood is one of many neighborhoods on the historic Philadelphia Main Line, and is the home of institutions such as Lankenau Medical Center, St. Charles Borromeo Seminary, Palmer Theological Seminary, All Saints’ Episcopal Church, and Friends’ Central School.

Wynnewood is mostly residential with its shopping centers located in various clusters. The largest shopping center in Wynnewood is the Wynnewood Shopping Center housing an Old Navy, Bed Bath and Beyond, Mad Mex, DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse (formerly Borders Book Store) and (formerly Genuardi’s) Giant, John Troncelliti Barber Shop, Gamestop, and several eateries and smaller stores. Other shopping venues in the suburb include Wynnewood Square and the Whole Foods Shopping Center (named for a market there), both on East Lancaster Avenue. As Wynnewood is primarily a residential community, its residents visit other districts of the Main Line, such as Ardmore or Narberth, for shopping.
