This week has seen several notable developments within Central Pennsylvania’s local business scene. Of particular note are the interesting updates on a local eatery’s move, a sports facility’s relocation, and the exciting entrance of a new sports retailer in the area.
The Cheesesteak Guy, a well-respected local establishment, known for its delectable cheesesteak sandwiches, revealed plans for a significant change. With humble beginnings at the esteemed Broad Street market in 2018, it has now decided to roll out the ‘next chapter’ of its success and establish its own storefront.
‘The Cheesesteak Guy’ will soon call Cumberland County’s Lemoyne area its new home. Exciting times lie ahead for the beloved joint, with the owners predicting the grand opening of the new location to occur in around one to one-and-a-half months.
A contemporary in the local scene, Amoriana Sports Performance, made a parallel announcement. The sports training facility, which got its start only recently in 2021, has chosen to move to another location. This decision marks a new phase of growth for the relatively young establishment.
The chosen location for the sports training facility is a vast 3,000 square feet building situated on East South Street, Carlisle. Residents are eagerly anticipating the facility’s official inaugural event set to occur this coming Saturday.
Meanwhile, the sports retail marketplace is poised to welcome a new player. Academy Sports, a renowned sports retail giant originating from Texas, unveiled its intention to venture into the Pennsylvanian market. The move would mark their inaugural establishment in the state.
The Paxton Towne Center, located off of Jonestown Road, is where the Lone Star State’s sports retailer has decided to set up its initial Pennsylvanian shop. The long-anticipated arrival of such a retailer to the area is viewed as an exciting development by many within the local area.
To accommodate the expansive variety of sports and leisure inventory, the sports retailer will occupy a large, 65,080 square feet space. Previously home to Weis Markets, the expansive square footage is up to the task of showcasing the breadth and depth of Academy Sports’ product offerings.
Academy Sports’ selection deserves attention, as their upcoming location will be stocking an impressive variety of goods. From an array of hunting accessories, fishing tools, and camping gears to a diverse selection of sports and leisure products, the retailer will provide shoppers with a comprehensive range of options.
That’s not all Academy Sports plans to showcase. As well as outdoors and sports gear, customers can also expect a substantial range of footwear and clothing styles. The sporting goods store has indeed invested in a wide-ranging product line-up, which seamlessly incorporates apparel resources to cater for a variety of shopper needs.
The buzz around these local businesses and their upcoming expansions or openings is palpable. As we wait in anticipation for these new chapters and developments, it’s clear the local business landscape is on the move, and keen to keep its customers updated and taken care of.
In conclusion, the past week has witnessed promising developments in our local business scene in Central Pennsylvania. The upcoming relocation of two well-established local businesses and the anticipated arrival of a prominent Texan sports retailer certainly provides many exciting headlines.
