Store will replace Weis Markets' South Baltimore Street unit

Sunbury, PA (July 30, 2015) - Weis Markets today announced plans to purchase the location and assets of Nell's Family Market of Hanover d/b/a Nell's Shur-fine Market in Hanover from C&S Wholesale Grocers. When the purchase is completed at the end of August, this location will replace Weis Markets' nearby store on South Baltimore Street.

Both stores will remain open in the weeks prior to the finalization of the purchase in late August. As part of this transition, Weis Markets plans to interview current employees at this Nell's location who are interested in employment at Weis Markets.

Nell's Shur-fine is located at 1424 Baltimore Street in the Grandview Plaza.

"The purchase of Nell's Shur-fine Market will give us a more convenient location and larger store which will allow us to offer a better shopping experience and improved variety in every department," said Kurt Schertle, Weis Markets' Chief Operating Officer. "Since our relocation will result in increased staffing needs, we are interested in interviewing the associates of this Nell's location for employment at our company."
