Suburban Square is a community shopping center in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, United States, in the Main Line suburbs of Philadelphia.
[2] It has also been generally credited as being the first suburban shopping center to include a true department store, when Strawbridge & Clothier opened a four-story, 50,000 sq ft (4,600 m2)[3] branch there on May 12, 1930.
[7] The complex currently includes Suburban Square, Times Building, and the adjacent Ardmore Farmers Market and features more than sixty retail and dining establishments.
[4][5][6][9] Notably, architect Frederick Dreher's design called for "a cluster of shops built around a major department store, with a supermarket, movie theater and office buildings with ample parking space.
In early 2017, it was announced that the former Macy's store would be replaced by health club Life Time Fitness and furniture retailer West Elm by the end of the year.
