Weis Market in Hagerstown's North End gets remodel
Weis Markets recently held a grand reopening of its Shank Farm Way store in Hagerstown's North End after what a company news release described as a major remodel.
The remodel included updating the interior decor and redesigning the deli and food service area to expand prepared meal offerings.
Weis also "increased variety throughout the entire store," the release states.
"We are proud to show our dedication to the Hagerstown community with these store improvements, offering a wider selection and an elevated shopping experience for our customers," Vice President of Marketing and Advertising Maria Rizzo said in the release. "We extend our gratitude to our store team for their efforts on this project, and to our nonprofit partners who celebrated our grand reopening with us."
To celebrate the remodel, Weis Markets officials presented $500 each to Community Rescue Service, Antietam Fire Company and Brooke's House.
World Treasures Thrift Shop moves to larger store in Hagerstown
The World Treasures Thrift Shop, long in downtown Hagerstown, moved to a larger space in the city’s South End in late May.
The store sells mostly gently used items that have been donated. Those include clothes, shoes, jewelry, furniture, decor including Christmas items and artificial flowers, cookware, glassware, dishware, linens, baskets, toys, games, dolls, puzzles, books, videotapes and books on CD.
The nonprofit Mennonite Central Committee doubled the shop’s space by moving to 524 Frederick St., which it rents near East Memorial Boulevard, General Manager Wendy Dahler said.
The store now has dressing rooms — two — and its goods include a few shelves of packaged food and paper products, cold beverages, handmade soap and packages of freshly ground coffee, Dahler said. The coffee includes fair trade coffee as well as packages from River Bottom Roasters in Williamsport.
The thrift shop opened on Frederick Street on May 28, 10 days after closing at 301 W. Franklin St., Dahler said.
The operation began in 1978 at a different site on Franklin Street.
The shop continues to sell handmade flower and wall shelving made by founding member Nathan Strite. Founding member Cora Horst, 99, also works part time at the shop, Dahler said.
Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. Donations also can be dropped off during those hours at the back of the store.
