About Faber Shops
Faber Shops is the retail banner used by Faber, Coe & Gregg, Inc., a long‑established travel‑retail company that operates newsstands, gift shops, and convenience stores in transportation hubs such as airports and major train stations. These locations typically sell grab‑and‑go food and beverages, newspapers and magazines, tobacco products, souvenirs, and a range of travel necessities like phone chargers, toiletries, and umbrellas. In Baltimore, “Faber Shops” appears on public vendor and compliance lists as a newsstand retailer, including a “NEWSSTAND / FABER SHOPS 1211” location, which aligns closely with the merchant descriptor on your statement.([mgaleg.maryland.gov](https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/cmte_testimony/2020/wam/2692_02182020_105614-240.pdf?utm_source=openai))
A charge from “PY *FABER - 1211 BALTIMORBALTIMORE MD” is therefore most likely from a Faber Shops newsstand or convenience outlet in a Baltimore transit facility (for example, a train station kiosk or similar travel hub retail space). Typical purchases include drinks, snacks, magazines, tobacco or vaping products, and small travel items; amounts are often relatively small but can add up if multiple items were bought together. Depending on how their terminals are set up, your charge may post under a location or internal store number (such as “1211”) rather than a more descriptive store name.
If you have questions about this charge, start by checking receipts, email confirmations from the date and time of the transaction, and your recent travel through Baltimore train stations or airports. Because Faber Shops is part of Faber, Coe & Gregg, Inc., whose headquarters and corporate contact details are listed for Secaucus, New Jersey, you may see that company name on any formal correspondence or if you contact them using information from their corporate site.([linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/faber-coe-%26-gregg-inc.?utm_source=openai)) If the transaction still doesn’t look familiar, you can ask your card issuer for the exact timestamp and authorization details; they can also initiate a dispute if you suspect the charge is fraudulent.
