Penn Transit Options to Local Grocery Stores
Penn Transit is providing new service options to help members of the Penn Community with their grocery shopping needs. This service expansion will assist students, faculty and staff until Acme Markets opens at 40th and Walnut streets.
The following options are available:
- South Square Market, 2221 South Street–Penn Bus East has a designated stop at 22nd and South Streets.
- Supremo Food Market, 4301 Walnut Street—Penn Bus West will stop at a new designated stop at 44th and Walnut Streets.
- Mariposa Food Co-op, 4824 Baltimore Avenue—Penn Bus West has added a newly designated stop at 48th Street and Baltimore Avenue.
- Trader Joe’s, 2121 Market Street—The Grocery Shuttle Pilot Program continues to provide direct transportation from Penn’s campus to Trader Joe’s on Thursday and Saturday evenings from 6:30 p.m. (first pick-up at Franklin’s Table) to 9:55 p.m. (last pick-up at Trader Joe’s).
During this period of transition, Penn Bus West will no longer stop at the Schattner Building and passengers can pick up the route at designated transit stops at either 40th and Walnut Streets, 40th and Spruce Streets, or the Quad. Passengers can continue to access Penn Bus East at the Schattner transit stop.
Grocery shopping options within walking distance include:
Gourmet Grocer is in 1920 Commons in the heart of Penn’s campus.
Heirloom Market, at 34th and Chestnut Streets, is located adjacent to campus.
