Glimpse: Weis #88 - Lancaster, PA (Manheim Pike)

Image
Weis store #88 at 1643 Manheim Pike in Lancaster, Pennsylvania opened in 1997. The store was originally an Erb's, and Weis had owned it since 1974. The store still features signage not found in normal Weis stores such as "The Garden Basket" for the produce. There was formerly a Rite Aid next door, but that has since closed. The store as it appears today. In 1969, before the store was built Historic Aerials imagery Quick Information: Opened:  1997 Address:  1643 Manheim Pike Photographed:  November 2020

Glimpse: Rite Aid #11049 - Walnutport, PA | The Rite-Up

Image
Rite Aid #11049, located at 200 S. Best Avenue opened in 2000 as an Eckerd, with the standard design of the time. (I'm also going to point out the fact that it's tiny for an Eckerd). It became a Rite Aid in 2007 and received newer Rite Aid signage between 2013 and 2018. After August 2020, it received the newest Rite Aid logo, giving it its third logo within 11 years. This Rite Aid (along with another store in Palmerton ) received the prescriptions from the Kmart in Walnutport when it closed in Summer 2020 (May I also add that the Kmart the only reason I even have this photo.)  The store before it received the newest logo. Note the banner advertising the fact that it now has Kmart's prescription records.  The store while it still featured the original Rite Aid signage.
