Weis Markets Opens 3 Pharmacies in ex-Mars Stores

Weis Markets has opened full-service pharmacies in three former Mars locations in Baltimore County, Md., which now operate as Weis Markets’ stores.

The pharmacies are located in Weis’ Essex, Wise Avenue and Holabird Avenue stores in Dundalk.

In late July, Weis Markets converted five Mars locations to Weis stores and opened them on August 4.

The grocer is currently finalizing the conversion and reopening of 38 Food Lion stores, which it acquired in August in the wake of the Ahold-Delhaize merger. Three former Baltimore County Food Lion units, located in Owings Mill, Eldersburg and Reisterstown, reopened last Friday as Weis Markets, while locations in Columbia, Elkridge, Gaithersburg and Mitchellville are expected to reopen Sept. 23.

Founded in 1912, Sunbury, Pa.-based Weis Markets Inc. operates 171 stores in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and West Virginia,  including 137 in-store pharmacies.
