About The Village Mart

The Village Mart was founded May 22, 1964 by Dominick and Frances Pasquale, a family-operated commercial real estate business. The strategically located retail space was created to serve the various residential and commercial residents located in the highly-trafficked King of Prussia / Gulph Mills corridor of the Main Line and Upper Merion township.  Historically, The Village Mart has offered family-owned, entrepreneurial retailers and store owners whose mission it was to serve its customers with personal service and exceptional products.  This traditional retail paradigm, now celebrating 46 years of operation, demonstrates that family business values, personalized customer service and stores that serve the area’s needs are still the cornerstone of The American Dream.
