Ali's Wagon is the family project of Jessie Menken and Nat Weston, with the sometimes cooperation and tolerance of their two year old daughter, Lily.
We carry a diverse inventory of contemporary housewares, bath and body supplies and children's items.
We are extremely proud of Ali's Wagon's Parenting Center which is intended to assist those of us young Philadelphia urbans who are in a family way. Ali's Wagon is the place to go when you are first expecting, to take birthing classes and to informally meet other parents, and Ali's Wagon fulfills the desire of many current Fairmount parents to have some local shopping for their baby needs. Our inventory and programming reflect the personal orientation of Jessie and Nat's identity as parents to a young toddler, but as they continue to learn the ins and outs of store ownership and retail business the center's services will expand to better address the plethora of challenges, from cradle to college. We are proud to host "Birthing From Within" natural birthing classes that fill up quite in advance, so register early (please see Parenting Center section for details)! We also hold an ongoing New Mom's Group every Friday with alternating facilitators and some time in the afternoon for informal discussion without any moderator. We hope to find additional ways for parents to meet other people who are at similar stages in their journey of parenting. We have learned so much from the experience of others and we want to create and maintain a community environment where others can connect and gain advice and support from their peers.
Ali's Wagon is named in loving tribute for our friend, Allison Wenger, who died in August 2005. Allison loved children and she loved helping young families by providing things that were both needed and sometimes just wanted, to make life a little bit sweeter. May this store be an honor to her legacy.
