Good's Opens New Ephrata Store

Good's Store in Ephrata has moved to a new location, 1127 S. State St., where the former Kmart store was located. The building will be shared with Dutch-Way Farm Market, which plans to open in late summer. The portion of the building occupied by Good's Store has about 34,000 square feet of retail space, which is nearly four times larger than the former store, located at 1686 W. Main St.

With the larger retail space, the new Ephrata store offers an expanded selection of merchandise across the board. Clothing and footwear are prominent categories, with brands including Carhartt, Wrangler, Under Armour, Carolina, Muck Boots and Skechers. The selection of work boots has also expanded considerably. Also, men's suits are available for the first time at the Ephrata store.

The new store also features a larger selection of home goods, including kitchen items, canning supplies, cleaning products, bed and bath items and curtains. Among the items for sale are KitchenAid appliances, Ball canning supplies, OXO and Norpro kitchen gadgets, Achim mini blinds and Capitol Earth Rugs. There is also an expanded selection of home decor items, candles, gifts, cards and books, including children's books, cookbooks and Bibles. The toy department has more games, puzzles and toys from Lego, Melissa & Doug, and Ertl, and now offers plush toys for sale.

Possibly the greatest changes for the new store are seen in the hardware, sporting goods and lawn and garden categories. For the first time, the Ephrata store offers paint, including Clark+Kensington and Rust-Oleum paints, and Wooster and Purdy paint applicators. There are power tools, including DeWalt tools, electrical and plumbing supplies, National Builders Hardware products and Hillman fasteners.

Also for the first time, the Ephrata store is able to cut keys, including high-security auto keys. The selection of lawn and garden products, such as solar-powered outdoor decor and birding supplies, has been greatly expanded, and for the first time, Traeger grills and grilling supplies are available.

The new store offers more pet supplies and has added Blue Buffalo pet food to go with Ex-Cell and Taste of the Wild. In the sporting goods department, there are more options from Coleman, Igloo and Franklin Sports, and, as before, there are Spikeball products, Bell biking accessories and Innova disc golf products.

While much has changed with the relocation of the Ephrata store, Good's Store continues to aim to offer a wide selection of essential goods for the entire family at low prices. Also available are items made by Lancaster County craftsmen, including bird feeders and bird houses, wooden drying racks, Biothane harness belts, cornhole games, cast iron quoits and croquet sets.
