Kohl’s Andorra: A Character All Its Own

Situated on bluffs overlooking the Schuylkill River and nestled comfortably amongst the woods of Wissahickon Valley Park, the northwestern Philadelphia neighborhood of Andorra has a unique feel. The name Andorra itself is a nod to the small nation of the same name in the Pyrenees Mountains, situated between France and Spain. It’s said that the neighborhood of Andorra bears a resemblance to the countryside of the Pyrenees. This resemblance is tied closely to the history of the neighborhood itself. The land was originally that of the estate of wealthy Philadelphia businessman Henry H. Houston in the 1880s, and it wasn’t developed fully into the almost suburban neighborhood it is today until the 1950s. This gives it a special atmosphere that is distinct from the surrounding Philadelphia neighborhood of Roxborough.

Though the cozy neighborhood of Andorra may seem like a world apart, Kohl’s Andorra is simple to get to from neighboring communities of Chestnut Hill, Erdenheim, Lafayette Hill, Gladwyne and more. Conveniently located near the intersection where Henry Avenue, Ridge Avenue and Cathedral Road meet, Kohl’s Andorra is practically in the middle of it all. You can even get there easily by bus using routes 27, 62 and 9. So come enjoy a quick get-away to Kohl’s Andorra, your northwestern Philadelphia go-to for bargains on apparel, accessories, home goods and more.
