I love Davis trading post. It's a fun place to go look around and shop. It seems like every year I wind up there for string lights whether they be green for Saint Paddy's day, pink or purple for Easter or green and red for Christmas and they always have what I am looking for, like I said is trading post is a fun place to go. There's not too many of these cool stores left. ! read more

I'm not exactly sure how I would categorize Davis trading post. It's a business that's been in this part of Delaware County forever and it's greatly loved by locals. I'll go out on a limb and decide this kind of reminds me of 5 and 10 cent stores of the past, combined with that little corner store with sundries, milk, cigs, that used to be everywhere from the 30s through the 70's. During the various holiday seasons you will find decorations to purchase outside lining their sidewalk on the side of the building. You see this driving by and it's hard not to turn in and check them out. As you enter the building you will also see some of the outdoor decorations to the right along with a section that appears to have some magazines/ periodicals. To the left and at the counter lottery tickets are available for purchase. As you make your way to the back of the store you start to realize that it transforms from a mishmash to a section that they decided would be more organized and definitely geared towards inexpensive home decor. It's a local gem worth a "stopby" where I'm sure you will find something to purchase. A "must stop"during various holiday seasons. read more

To understand Davis Trading Post, you'd have to understand Philly. Davis Trading Post is one of the last of the great "corner stores" that once were all over the city and near suburbs. They were crammed to the ceiling with anything you might need from milk to a quart of oil to a flannel coat. When I mean crammed, I mean, oh geez to get to it you kind of have to slide in sideways crammed. They are not beautifully merchandised like the stores of today, they're focused on being very stocked with one of about everything you might need last minute. I loved going there. Fellow Yelper Dee M and I stopped by on our way someplace else - OMG you've GOT to see this is what she said. She was right - walking in this place was like walking into all the corner stores I had gone to in my youth. The store my mother sent me to for a quart of milk and some bread. The place by my school that sold penny candy (yep!) and nail polish. The places that one by one closed as the years went by. We had a blast checking out their Halloween costumes and props - and I picked up a few. Their household items, decorations for fall and Christmas, and the tobacco sign Indian which was so cool. It's not as cheap as the big box stores, of course. You're supporting a very longtime small business who may just have that one thing you need last minute. read more

In short, the only place around that I know of that you can go for a full range of Halloween/costume supplies year-round. Came here with a friend a few weeks ago because he was in need of a glue on mustache. Not only did the Davis Trading Post meet that need but it offered mustaches made of both synthetic and human hair. But that's not all! They've got a newsstand, snacks, smokes, all sorts of things. read more

This is such an awesomely weird store! It's a costume shop, gift shop, hardware shop and convenience store all rolled into one.

A neighborhood staple since I don't know when, staff is always friendly, and I used to operate a lottery computer I know how frustrating it can be, but always service with a smile read more

My family will never return back here to purchase anything. Tried to return a Halloween costume for my 2 year old the same day as it was purchased, and was told plain and simply by a grumpy old man who looks as if he hates his life because of working there, that he would not refund my money even if with the receipt in my hand. It was never taken out of the package nor was the accessory bag inside opened/unsealed. I normally support small businesses, however when that business doesn't even take a second to listen to a customer and dismisses the individual as if his time is being wasted, that's when my money will be spent elsewhere. Time to retire to shuffle board old man!! read more

This is a great, classic, corner store. They have a little bit of everything, and it's that place where you look when you can't find it anywhere else. read more

I really wanted to like this place but its just so darn over crowded and over priced. Maybe they will renovate someday! Oh and the parking stinks. read more
