Retail Forever

The first of two Giant To Go locations, at 601 Richmond Dr, Manheim Township, Lancaster, Pennsylvania opened in April 2009 as an addition to the Richmond Square shopping center (which was constructed in 2008) and as an experimental concept for GIANT Food Stores. Like the second store at 2339 Oregon Pike ), it was sold to Turkey Hill in 2015 and was rebranded later that year.

Stauffers of Kissel Hill's Lititz location, located at 1050 Lititz Pike in Lititz, Pennsylvania was previously located at 813 Lititz Pike, where it opened in 1937 (the original building is now the Stauffers Corporate Offices). The current store opened in 1985. By this point, it's basically the same as the Rohrerstown store, although it lacks things like a pharmacy and self-checkout registers that the newer Rohrerstown store features. One of the store's unique price tags. Despite the fact that there are only three Stauffers locations, everything is unique enough to the point where it feels like a large chain.  The original Lititz location, while in operation (From Stauffers Website) The original location, now used as corporate offices (Google Maps Streetview) This location when it first opened in 1985 (From Stauffers Website) Quick Information:  Opened: 1937 / 1985 Address: 1050 Lititz Pike Photographed: February 2021

UPDATE (01/07/2022): The Shrewsbury Tom's has now closed, and may be replaced with a Royal Farms. History of the Tom's chain Tom's is a convenience store/gas station chain based in York, PA that once had stores throughout Central Pennsylvania. Created in 1994 by Shipley Energy as a way to distribute its gasoline, Tom's once operated 27 stores throughout Pennsylvania, namely in the York, Lancaster, and Harrisburg areas. But that number has since been reduced to one and a half. Around 2012, Shipley sold 14 of its 24 remaining Tom's stores to Sunoco, rebranding all of the stations and leaving just 10 Tom's stores in operation. Stores continued to close, until around 2015 when an Exxon in Dover, PA rebranded its gasoline pump canopy to the Tom's name (the convenience store had already been branded as a Tom's for some time before this change), marking the first Tom's opening in about eight years and the final Tom's expansion for the compa...

The Rohrerstown Grocery Outlet store opened in the Mid-1990s as an Amelia's Grocery Outlet. In 2010, the building was demolished and rebuilt (Likely due to the new CVS opening). In 2011, Grocery Outlet Bargain Market acquired Amelia's, but the store (along with all but the East Lancaster location, which was rebranded a year prior) remained branded as Amelia's until 2015. The official reopening date was April 1, 2015.  The original store.  Google Maps imagery A clearer photo of the original store I found on an archive of the Amelia's website The store as an Ameila's Google Maps imagery The store as it appears today.
