I was waiting for a "who cares" comment. Local shops and national chains can peacefully co-exist in a big city, and both are needed to create a well rounded downtown that caters to residents, workers, tourists, and suburbanites.
Eataly is a popular large retailers, signs long-term leases, generates a lot of business and foot traffic, and contains a variety of vendors...but yea, who cares, Philly doesn't need that...
