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

Image
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. An aisle marker inside the store.  The store's exterior In 1969, Before the store was built Historic Aerials imagery Before the fruit and vegetable mural was added Photo: The Weis Project Quick Information: Opened:  Late 1990s Address:  1700 Fruitville Pike Photographed:  No
