Town Pride, a new retail space in Downtown State College, has recently opened its doors to the public, offering a unique blend of community spirit and locally inspired merchandise. The store, located at 240 E. Calder Way, officially opened on April 4 and has quickly gained attention for its mission of giving back to the community. The franchise owner, Lisa Farren, expressed the store’s dedication to fostering connections and supporting local causes.
The store stands out for its hyper-local focus on State College and Pennsylvania-themed goods, including apparel and accessories that reflect the region’s culture. Town Pride has already launched a “20/20 Give Back” initiative, which raised nearly $500 for the State College Food Bank in just two days.
Employees at Town Pride, such as Penn State graduate student Paxton Gregg and sales associate Rachel Buzzell, have praised the store for its positive environment, high-quality American-made products, and sustainability mission. Customers, including students and locals, have also shown enthusiasm for the store, with many planning to return for unique gifts and Penn State-themed items.
With a commitment to offering meaningful products and fostering connections within the community, Town Pride aims to become a go-to destination for those looking to support local businesses and values. The team behind Town Pride hopes to continue spreading the word about their mission and building a loyal customer base in State College.
