When it's all said and done, the store at 701 Lancaster Road, will have a new freezer aisle, produce section and cash registers as well as more than 2,000 square feet of extra retail space, company president Mike Mitchell said.
The store had been closed for part of the two-weeklong renovation, which included knocking out a back wall to expand the selling area from roughly 7,200 square feet to 9,500 square feet. New flooring, lighting and a revamped heating and air-conditioning system also have been added.
The Manheim location, which is one of Amelia's smaller stores, has about 20 full- and part-time employees. Mitchell said some new employees eventually may be added.
The New Holland-based discount grocer has 12 stores in southeastern Pennsylvania, including four in Lancaster County.
Store hours: 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
