Meet Jonathan Adams and Damien Pileggi of Rival Brothers Coffee. Born and bred in Philadelphia, these lifelong friends founded Rival Bros in 2011 with amazing reviews from the start. Rival Brothers is an ode to Philly’s authentic and hard-working personality. Yeah, Philly!
We are looking forward to have Rival join us at OUTPOST. Their coffee truck will be stationed outside our space – buy a bag of their custom small batch roasts and enjoy a delicious cup of coffee brewed just the way you like it.

meet the makers
On February 10 + 11 in our space on Shurs Lane we will be bringing together makers, shopkeepers, and artists whom we’ve met and admire. We wanted to promote the hardworking ever-growing community of small businesses and young entrepreneurs right here in Philadelphia. And so, we’ve gathered a select few of them for our OUTPOST shopping event.
Together, we think they bring an awesome selection of quality goods – from perfectly selected fresh flowers to handmade facinators and one-of-kind headpieces from handcrafted ties and bowties to a bag of finely roasted small batch coffee. You’ll find everything from heritage clothing to houseware keepsakes made from recovered olde things. Pick up a unique valentine gift, a coveted poster with amazing typography or simply a delicious cup of coffee, cupcake or artisanal grilled cheese sandwich from select Philly food vendors. And, for the Friday opening party sample a cocktail with spirits made right here in PA.
Plus for OUTPOST the shop will be filled with lots of Three Potato Four finds – a fresh stock of inventory we’ve been collecting and gathering just for this event.
Stay tuned here on our blog, where we will individually highlight each of our participants at OUTPOST.
Hope you can join us.
February 10 + 11

home in pa
It will be almost two years this July that we have lived here in Pennsylvania. Stu and I have always been wanderers and seemed to love moving somewhere new every two or three years, we were addicted to the change and finding new places – never really finding “the place” where we wanted to settle. We moved here to PA very spontaneously, knowing we needed a new home for our business and taking a chance that we might find the right place for us.
And you know what? We have. We truly love it here. The people we have met are amazing- our neighbors, our friends and the community- hard-working, generous, friendly, gritty and real. The places we are still discovering here feel like secrets. There so much history in PA – hidden farms, mills, creeks and paths. It has been a great adventure.
Maybe this need to feel settled is because it’s not just Stu and I anymore and our children are not babies anymore but it’s really nice to put roots somewhere and feel at home.
faribault woolen mill co.
In our day-to-day buying trips we visit many closed factories, mills and abandoned industrial businesses here in the US. It’s hard to see these beautiful places forgotten, abandoned and unused. It was refreshing to hear about the revitalization of Faribault Woolen Mill Co.
We are inspired by the people who believed in this brand to support and open it up once again and the wonderful impact they are making to this Minnesota community. And, are happily reminded that beautiful products can still be made here in the USA.
We are proud to be stockists of the Faribault brand.
