When the flagship El Quetzal opened in Chestnut Hill in 1963, it only sold Guatemalan imports. Though the owners have since changed, Ardmore’s El Quetzal still embodies that same spirit, selling thoughtful Latin-inspired gifts, clothing, jewelry, accessories and more. Find chic styles or spruce up your home with décor that reflects your thoughtful side.
