Upper Merion Township

A township that is frequently overlooked and almost unheard of due to its immediate proximity from the sprawling, tourist-attracting King of Prussia Mall. Located north of the filthy rich Lower Merion Township, Upper Merion could perhaps be the best place to live in all of the Delaware Valley since it is relatively affordable, in a good school district and ridiculously close to the largest mall in the country.

The residents of Upper Merion Township are literally surrounded by the most exclusive retail outlets in Pennsylvania and are thus extremely tempted to spend their money without hesitation.

Saks Fifth Avenue

A luxury department store comparable in price and exclusivity to Neiman Marcus and Barneys New York. Most store locations are in either upscale malls or in high-end shopping districts of major cities. Saks Fifth Avenue is often considered to be the highest caliber of department stores, since many of the brands they carry are unique to Saks specifically or are found only in select locations throughout the United States (i.e. Etro, Prada, Jimmy Choo, etc.) Headquartered in New York City, Saks has been featured in numerous print ads and film for decades. It is also one of the oldest department stores in the United States.

Those who shop at Saks Fifth Avenue undoubtedly have a refined pallet for style and also have lots and lots of money to burn.

Banana Republic

A store run by Gap, Inc., which postures itself as the "upscale" line by being more expensive than both Gap and Old Navy. After you rummage through a few pile of shirts and scour the whole store for anything colorful, one realizes that it is no better than the Gap and with the quality just as lacking. Banana Republic tirelessly competes with J. Crew, its primary rival, although the corporate execs forget that a store filled with beige, brown, and khaki only invites a similar trend of mediocrity. Why bother?

Banana Republic is the de-facto anchor of most suburban, outdoor lifestyle centers, thus cheapening the image of the brand.
