Big Lots opened a new store Thursday in Manor Shopping Center. The 14,700-square foot store at 1262 Millersville Pike takes the place of Superpetz, a warehouse pet store that closed in April after 14 years at the site.
The discount retailer gets "big lots" of merchandise from manufacturers trying to reduce inventory, then sells it at a markdown. Items at the Manor Shopping Center store include grocery and seasonal items as well as furniture, toys and home furnishings.
Big Lots has more than 1,300 U.S. stores. This is the first one in Lancaster County. It has about 30 employees.
Hours: 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday.

A new bakery, The Flour Child, opened Sept. 3 at 646 Union St. in Columbia. The small bakery specializes in cupcakes, cookies and other pastries. It serves coffee and has seating for 12. Alixe Ingoglila is the owner.
Hours: 6:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday; 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday; 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday.
Yarn shop moves

With the move, store owner Gary Linn has added some food items to his selection of cigars, pipes and lighters.
