The Newsstand Association of Philadelphia

The Newsstand Association of Philadelphia (NAP) was formed by newsstand owners to provide solidarity and support for each other, while providing a much needed service for the general public and business community.

EXPANSION PROGRAM

The June 7th public hearing of the new Newsstand Ordinance before City Council's Committee on Streets and Services, was a significant step forward for opening doors to our "Products Expansion Program". None of the committee members raised any concerns and no opposition was expressed by the Department of Licenses and Inspections.

On June 16th, the bill was unanimously approved by City Council. Passage of this new ordinance is a major victory for us! We will now be able to "legally" sell products that have never been associated with the newsstand business. We believe if we were to include everything we wish to offer our customers in a single ordinance, we would have maximized opposition and likely undermined our plan.

Let us be clear, we are not slowing down. We intend to add other products via future ordinances. This approach will allow City officials to adjust to our strategy over time.

In Solidarity,
NAP
