Sweet Pea Children's Shop
Best Kids’ Clothing Store
It’s taken less than a year for Sweet Pea to establish itself as the “it” spot for kids’ clothing that’s both adorable and durable. Tucked away in a storefront off busy Route 512 in Hanover Township, Sweet Pea is the anti-big-box store; instead, it has the look and feel of a boutique, offering no short supply of brands that are a rarity in the region, like Tea Collection, Joules and Deux par Deux. “There are so many children in the Valley whose parents and grandparents have to leave the area to find unique clothing,” says owner and mother of two Alesia Coulter. “I thought, here is this void, I need to fill it.” The store offers other goodies, too, like toys, books and Chewbeads (a must for moms with teething babies), guaranteeing that a trip to Sweet Pea will be a delight for shoppers of all ages.
