Peddler's Village

What Peddler's Village does

Peddler's Village is a privately held, family-owned destination hospitality and retail resort founded in 1962 by Earl and Sheila Jamison on a former chicken hatchery in Lahaska, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The company has grown from a 6-acre, 14-shop site into a 42-acre colonial-themed village that draws more than two million visitors annually. Donna Jamison Cave, daughter of the founders, currently heads the business.

The company's core product is a vertically integrated, themed retail and hospitality campus comprising more than 60 specialty shops and boutiques (over 90% small, locally owned), eight Peddler's Village-owned restaurants and eateries, the 67-room Golden Plough Inn boutique lodging property, and Giggleberry Fair, an indoor family entertainment center featuring a six-story obstacle course, antique carousel, and arcade. The Village runs a year-round programming calendar of festivals, dinner theater, murder mystery events, and seasonal exhibitions (e.g., Sights in Sand, Gingerbread Competition, Scarecrows in the Village).

The business model blends recurring revenue from tenant leasing and the boutique inn with transactional revenue from on-site restaurants, entertainment, gift cards, and ticketed events. Distribution is predominantly DTC foot traffic, augmented by a mobile app, email, organic social (Facebook, Instagram, Threads, YouTube), earned media, TripAdvisor, and Google Reviews. No public revenue or financial statements are disclosed.
