Mitchell & Ness is preparing to make a splash in Philadelphia.
The sports brand, which was founded in the City of Brotherly Love in 1904, will open a three-story, 16,400-square-foot store at 1513 Walnut Street on Saturday.
The store, which the company is describing as “a cultural hub rooted in sport, fashion, music and community,” is significantly larger than the current 2,500-square-foot unit at 1306 Walnut Street.
