rStore provides preliminary design services to nonprofit organizations revitalizing Philadelphia’s commercial corridors. rStore design consultations help store owners plan storefront façade improvements and apply for grants. Six businesses on South Street and S. Fourth Street received recommendations and sketches on repainting, preserving historical features, and replacing signage, lighting, windows, and doors.
