Walgreens #9876, located at 1262 Lititz Pike in Lancaster, Pennsylvania was built in 2006 and opened in early January 2007 on a piece of land formerly occupied by a Chi-Chi's restaurant, which likely closed in 2004 with the rest of the chain. This space has been occupied by Walgreens since it opened in 2007 and is part of the Golden Triangle shopping center. The Chi-Chi's restaurant. Sorry about the terrible quality photo, it's all I could get my hands on. (Lancaster New Era) An aerial view of the Chi-Chi's.

Rite Aid #11034, located at 2600 N. Willow Street Pike in Willow Street, Pennsylvania originally opened in 1991 with the center as a Thrift Drug #6679. Sold and rebranded to Eckerd in 1997. Rebranded again to Rite Aid in 2007, and is currently receiving another exterior remodel, likely due to purchasing the closing Willow Street Kmart's prescription records.  There is a temporary banner with the new Rite Aid logo on the side of the building, where up until very recently, Thrift Drug's "Perscriptions" sign remained.  Rite Aid's older signage was present from 2007 until now. I wasn't able to dig up anything from the Eckerd or Thrift Drug days. (Google Earth Streetview) The sign on the back of the store has not been updated. They have an all-new banner design due to the remodel! It's a huge upgrade from the boring, red, and generic-looking banners seen in Columbia and Walnutport .

Kohl's #255, located at 1135 Park City Center opened on September 15, 1996 , as the 5th and final anchor in the mall. Compared to the other spaces at the mall ( Sears , Bon-Ton, JCPenney, and Boscov's), this Kohl's is very small, only being one level (the rest are two). This location is one of about 150 Kohl's stores with a Lands' End mini-shop. The Sears next door also featured a Lands' End shop until the store closed in March 2019. Exterior entrance. This entrance actually takes you into a vestibule, with one way leading into Kohl's and the other taking you into the main mall. The Kohl's logo, as seen in the vestibule. The Lands' End Mini-shop in the mens department. It's not at all as large as the one at Sears, which took up almost half the upper floor.

ShopRite of Governors Place, located at 1101 Governors Place in Bear, DE opened in 2011 in a space formerly occupied by Thriftway, Genuardi's, and Safeway. It opened in the 1980s as a Thriftway, then in the 1990s, it was sold to Genuardi's (becoming store #30). In 2001 when Genuardi's was acquired by Safeway, it was re-bannered to a Safeway. ShopRite took over the lease in early 2011 and opened in the space later in 2011. There was also a Kmart (#4807) in the center which you can read about over on  Kmart Forever .
