Weis Markets acquiring Pennsylvania’s Sunnyway Foods

Weis Markets has entered into an asset purchase agreement with Sunnyway Foods to purchase certain assets of Sunnyway's two Pennsylvania supermarkets.

Weis expects that the transaction will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024. Both locations will briefly close for conversion and then reopen as Weis Markets. The stores are located at 49 Warm Spring Rd in Chambersburg 212 N. Antrim Way in Greencastle. 

"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."

"It's been my family's pleasure to serve the wonderful people of Franklin County for over 69 years,” said Dean Martin, Sunnyway's President & CEO. “While this move is bittersweet for us, we are comforted knowing that we leave our customers in the capable hands of Weis Markets." 

Weis Markets plans to interview the current associates of both stores who are interested in employment with Weis. As part of the transition, the stores will now open on Sundays for customer convenience.
