We are a community of approximately 13,000 residents, located on the Main Line, west of Philadelphia. Our historic downtown, one of the largest business districts in our area, contains a delightful mix of restaurants and small specialty shops, including antique and gift shops. Historic Ardmore is adjacent to Suburban Square, one of America's oldest shopping centers.

The Ardmore Initiative is a business district authority responsible for physical improvements and economic development in downtown Ardmore. Over the years, the Ardmore Initiative has worked with Lower Merion Township and local community organizations to improve the appearance of downtown Ardmore and ensure a vibrant mix of businesses in its historic district.
