STUMP Devon is located at 7 Lancaster Ave in Devon, Pennsylvania.

Like many of our shops - this one has a fun story of how we came to find it and why we decided to open it.

Our friends Amber and Taylor (who also are mostly responsible for helping us open our first Philadelphia location in Northern Liberties) moved near Devon a few years ago.

Driving down Lancaster Ave we noticed this cute Tudor style cottage space and one day it had a for lease sign in the window.

Fast forward a year - our shopkeeper, Helen, who graduated from SCAD as an illustration major decided she was going to move back to be closer to her family. It lined up perfectly because she was interested in becoming more involved as a manager! So here we go ~~ we opened this shop.

History of the building:

“These little cottages were designed by Pure Oil Company’s Chief Engineer around the 1920’s to accommodate and blend in to surrounding residential neighborhoods. Each one was painted white and featured a steeply pitched roof with blue terra cotta. When they were built, both chimneys had large P’s on both chimneys.

Before renovations on 700 Lancaster Ave (Devon, PA) began in 2018, you could see some of the original blue colored roof through flaking paint.

In 1926, the English cottage became the trademark of Pure Oil Company. Many gas stations around this time were simple, shack-like buildings so it was brilliant of this company to come up with a way to appease residents since gas stations in general were considered an unwelcome eyesore.” - Scott Furman
