If you are traveling in Western Pennsylvania, why not stop by the quaint little town of Sharon, PA? Here you will find three unique specialty stores that all claim to be the "World's Largest" in their respective retail category. While I cannot verify their claims of "World's Largest", I can say that these businesses offer some of the most unique and interesting products on the market today.

1. Reyers - "The World's Largest Shoe Store"

Located at: 40 South Water Avenue, Sharon, PA

"The World's Largest Off-Price Fashion Store" is a big claim. With four floors and 100,000 square feet of merchandise, The Winner lives up to their claim. They offer the largest selection of designer fashions available anywhere between Cleveland, OH and Pittsburgh at deeply discounted prices of up to 70% off retail.

Designed similar to high-end stores in places like New York City, this store's décor is as impressive as its merchandise. Three floors of formal wear with over 5,000 gowns (in sizes 0-26) make The Winner's gown selection the largest in the Midwest. From bridal gowns and tuxedos to christening gowns for infants, their formal wear department is nothing short of amazing.

    I grew up in eastern PA, and a town near me had Country Junction: The world's largest General Store, but there was a fire a few years back and it was destroyed. Claiming to be the "world's largest" something sounds like it is a popular thing to do in PA!
