On the heels of the success of the season’s first market, Hankin Group and Growing Roots Partners are coming together to host three more events this summer in Weatherstone Town Center. The second installment of Craft & Mercantile will be held on Friday, July 16 from 5-8 PM.
Last month’s event attracted more than 850 people from the surrounding community for an evening of shopping, food and drink, and live entertainment. Weatherstone’s anchor tenant and the Hankin Group’s newest restaurant, Revival Pizza Pub, held its grand opening in conjunction with the market.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better kickoff event in Weatherstone,” said Brooke Rightnour, Marketing & Public Relations Manager for Hankin Group. “The entire community came together and just seemed to really enjoy each other’s company and the market offerings. There was a little bit of something for everyone with over 25 craft vendors, four food trucks, and a dynamic, talented musician to top it all off.”
The free event will return monthly from July through September with some new and returning vendors, along with local food trucks and rotating musicians. Magic Memories, a daycare located in Weatherstone, will be hosting a kid’s activity in the town square to round out the three-hour event.
“Craft & Mercantile is a fun, family friendly event,” said event organizer Christy Campli, owner of Growing Roots Partners. “We really take into consideration the demographic and feedback from the community to curate the markets. It’s amazing to be able to provide a stage for these local artisans to share their work with others.”
More information will be released here and on the Weatherstone Town Center and Craft & Mercantile social media pages. Later this summer, Weatherstone will also host a music performance in coordination with Point Entertainment, as well as a movie night in September. The full event lineup can be found here.

As the pandemic-related business slumps abate, three life sciences companies made long-term commitments to the region. They’ve each signed leases for headquarters in Chester County, writes Natalie Kostelni for the Philadelphia Business Journal.
After exploring several options, Castle Creek Biosciences extended its lease for 10 more years on the 86,500 square feet at Eagleview Corporate Center in Exton. The property will receive $20 million in upgrades to the manufacturing and research space.
Nearby, Frontage Laboratories also signed a 10-year renewal on its headquarters at 700 Pennsylvania Drive in Eagleview. In addition to the 80,000-square-foot space, the company signed another 10-year-lease for 70,000 square feet in a nearby office park, where its landlord, Hankin Group, recently constructed new labs.
Meanwhile, XyloCor Therapeutics has signed a lease for a 3,800-square-foot space at 1550 Liberty Ridge in Chesterbrook. The property will serve as its first headquarters. Previously, the gene-therapy company, currently developing cardiovascular disease treatments, used temporary offices at Life Sciences Pennsylvania offices in Wayne. It has since outgrown that space.

Weatherstone Town Center, Hankin Group’s new mixed-use development in Chester Springs, has announced a lineup of family friendly events open to the community for the upcoming summer season. Events include monthly craft markets, a mid-summer live music performance, and an early September movie night to conclude the season.
In collaboration with Growing Roots Partners, a long-standing partner of Hankin Group and event collaborators for countless Eagleview Town Center events, Weatherstone Town Center will host a new event series, Craft & Mercantile. This monthly market will take place in the evening and host a rotating lineup of more than 20 local crafters, live music, food trucks, and more.
The initial market will take place on Friday, June 18 from 5-8 PM. The event is free and open for all ages; however, guests are encouraged to reserve a complimentary ticket to guarantee entry.
A night of live music will be held in the square on Monday, July 12. The duo behind Point Entertainment, Jesse Lundy and Rich Kardon, will bring Ben Arnold, a local favorite, to Weatherstone from 7-9 PM. Arnold has performed on the Eagleview Town Center stage in years past and quickly became a fan favorite. The July show will be free to attend.
Rounding out the series will be a back-to-school showing of the award-winning movie Soul on Friday, Sept. 10. Movie night will be open to the public.
