It all began in 1988 when Karen Thompson opened her first store in Peddler’s Village. Since then, she has built some of the area’s most recognizable names in retail and hospitality; Lace Silhouettes Lingerie, Cotton Company, Sunflowers, Village Outfitters and most recently, Fox & Holly. Over the last 34 years, Thompson has brought these brands to life through 10 store locations across Peddler’s Village, Palmer Square in Princeton and the Washington Street Mall in Cape May.
Fox & Holly, formerly located in a big box setting in Doylestown as a pop-up in 2018, won the hearts of the community for being a place not only with the industry’s best brands, but a place where anyone can shop and feel welcomed. The store continued to stay open due to the popular demand until the Covid-19 pandemic caused Thompson to pivot and redefine the meaning of retail hospitality.
She said, “I had to make a tough decision to not immediately re-open Fox & Holly after the government shut down that had forced all non-essential retail to temporarily close. I was so sad to have to close the pop-up location. Realizing 26,000 square feet might not be the easiest to navigate at this time, I had to look at all options to create something new again … something that was, again, unique. I wanted to create a new wave of a boutique department store. I have always believed that when one door closes, another door opens, and when I walked into the new space that in the past I loved as ‘Left Bank Home’ and ‘Village Flower Shop’ I had a vision ... a multilevel shopping experience.”
Today Fox & Holly has grown to become a hometown favorite filled with industry leading brands that their guests love. The store’s charming architecture, combined with its specially curated assortment of clothing and lifestyle must-haves, creates a shopping experience that is, in a word, magical. The store also features an expanded shoe salon with high quality, yet affordable brands like Pikolinos, Birkenstock and more. Feel free to snap your fingers and tap your feet to the good tunes they play while you shop! The store's knowledgeable and experienced staff offer personalized one-on-one wardrobe styling and denim fittings for men and women. They welcome you as a friend and treat you as part of the family. Fox & Holly; him…her…shoes.
