Quick Look: Weis #17 - Lancaster, PA (Fruitville Pike)

Weis #17, located at 1700 Fruitville Pike, Unit A in Lancaster, Pennsylvania opened in the late 1990s as what could have been a relocation of the store 1890 Fruitville Pike, which opened with a neighboring Kmart. It ended up closing in the 1990s, so the relocation makes plenty of sense. Plus, the original location likely opened in 1970 (with the Kmart), which makes the store number make even more sense. Store #17 has used the glass tower entrance since its original opening. Behind the glass, on the inside of the store, there is a large “mural” with photos of fruits and vegetables.  This location recently received a new exterior sign, removing the older one with the silver sides in favor of a new one in all red.
