Breslin’s was established in 1979 by sisters-in-laws and best friends Gerrie & Mary Evelyn Breslin. These two beauties were definitely ahead of the curve. They opened their shop on Greenwood Ave in Jenkitown, PA in late December of 1979. They were both very excited about this venture and set out to prove that they were serious business women.

Mary Evelyn decided to pursue her nursing career and Gerrie took on sole ownership of the shop and moved it to West Ave. The shop thrived here for many years and came to have a very loyal following. Many people came to know and love Gerrie for her incredible blue eyes, her love of music & people & beautifully made clothing, her heart warming style, and her keen sharp eye for what her customers needed. She became not only a savvy shop keeper, but a friend and loyal listener to many joys as well as sorrows. She loved people.
