Weis Markets has entered into an agreement to purchase certain assets of Sunnyway Foods Stores’ supermarkets at 49 Warm Spring Road in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, and 212 N. Antrim Way in Greencastle, Pennsylvania.
“Sunnyway Foods, the Martin family and its associates are known for their service and dedication to their communities,” said Jonathan Weis, Weis Markets’ chairman and CEO.
“As a company with a strong local focus, our goal is to build upon this strong foundation. We look forward to interviewing the associates of these stores for employment with our company.”
The transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of this year. The locations will close briefly for conversion before reopening as Weis Markets.
Weis plans to interview employees of both stores who are interested in working for the company. As part of the transition, the stores will be open on Sundays.

“It’s been my family’s pleasure to serve the wonderful people of Franklin County for over 69 years. While this move is bittersweet for us, we are comforted knowing that we leave our customers in the capable hands of Weis Markets,” said Dean Martin, Sunnyway’s president and CEO.
Founded in 1912, Weis is a mid-Atlantic food retailer operating 196 stores in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and West Virginia.
