For the history of this store, please go to  https://retailforever.blogspot.com/2021/03/glimpse-rite-aid-11034-willow-street-pa.html . The Willow Street Rite Aid's exterior remodel was completed back in April, and now I'll show you what the finished product looks like. Nothing has changed, nor will it probably ever change, on the back of the store; it still sports the signage added when this store opened. The interior still bears the 1996 Eckerd package's wall signage (from when Eckerd replaced Thrift Drug), and Rite Aid's Customer World aisle markers, added when Rite Aid opened in 2007.

Stauffers of Kissel Hill's Rohrerstown supermarket, located at 301 Rohrerstown Road originally opened in 1970, as the third Stauffers supermarket and garden center. It was razed by a fire in 1986 and was rebuilt. After the rebuild, it looked nearly identical to the new Lititz store, which opened in 1985. In 2008, the garden center was expanded to take up the entire area which was once occupied by it and the grocery store. In Fall, 2008, the expanded garden center and rebuilt grocery store opened. This store features many things the Lititz store lacks, such as self-checkout registers and a pharmacy.  Before any renovations were started, February 2021.
