The Fashion District has an Express Factory Outlet with made-for-outlet merchandise of substantially lower quality, and a much smaller footprint. Express has pulled out of the Philadelphia-proper market. Still not a loss to bemoan; I don't think of it as a hot label like in the early '00s.
But yes, I am excited the vacant stretch of store fronts on Chestnut Street has landed a trendy new concept!
