Amazon Pushing Forward With Havertown Retail Location

HAVERTOWN, PA — Amazon is looking to install a sign in Haverford Township as it continues its plans to set up a retail location.

The Haverford Township Zoning Hearing Board Thursday will consider an appeal by Amazon Retail LLC for a variance to install a sign at 403 West Chester Pike in Havertown.

Amazon is seeking a variance to the Haverford Township Zoning Ordinance with hopes of adding a wall sign.

The variance is from Section 182-701.F.1(b)[1] to permit a net signage area of 164.62 square feet, where 50 feet is the maximum permitted and 108.5 square feet is existing.

A public meeting to discuss the appeal will take place at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Commissioners Meeting Room, 1014 Darby Road, Havertown.

Amazon still has a pending liquor license at that location, according to the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board.

Amazon operates Amazon Go and Amazon Go Grocery stores. These stores let customers shop without stopping at a checkout stand by scanning an app on their phone as they enter.
