Reply to comment by 8Draw in Why Are Philly Brands Flocking to the Suburbs? by Proper-Code7794

Such a weird headline and article. It’s not like they’re leaving the city to open in the suburbs — they’re just expanding. I guess we’re not supposed to want Philly small businesses to succeed outside the confines of the city limits? Again, super weird gatekeeping.

And you’re absolutely right, I see La Colombe all across the country.

I write the headlines for:

• articles I write that appear only online • the print versions of articles that appear in print and online, subject to revision by the editors above me

I have no say in the headlines for the online versions of print articles.

I agree that one could draw the wrong impression from this headline. And as I noted, this is really nothing new.

Usually brands have the highest quality when they are hyper local in the city though, and then it starts to drop proportionately with how far they expand.
