The Lititz Retailers As­sociation
at their meeting
Tuesday decided on an­other
night opening for the
convenience of area shopp­ers.
The Retailers decided to
open Thursday evening's
until 9 P.M. effective
larch 28. This means that
the stores will be open
Thursday and Friday un­til
9 P.M.
Some stores th a t had been
closed Thursday afternoons
will now be open Thursday,
but closed Wednesday a f te r ­noon.
In effect, this means
store hours o^n Wednesday un­til
noon, Thursday all day un­til
9 P.M.
However, some merchants
indicated their stores will con­tinue
to be open Wednesday
afternoons.
The Retailers s ta ted the new
hours were decided on only a f­te
r much consideration and
several surveys th a t had been
taken. The surveys indicated
th a t are a shoppers wanted
more evening shopping hours,
consequently the extra night
opening. The Retailers stressed
th a t their main consideration
is to make shopping hours con-veninent
for a rea shoppers;
Also discussed a t the same
meeting was a credit card sys-em
for use in Lititz stores. In
effect, the cîedlt card could be
used in any participating store.
The general idea was approved
by the Retailers and placed in
a committee for fu r th e r study.
Boards Seek
To Revive
Restoration
The historical renovation of
the downtown a re a of Lititz
was discussed by the Board
of Historical Review a t its
meeting Tuesday night, and- it
was felt th a t the project should
be revived.
The board will discuss ii
with the Planning Commission
a t the meeting of the la t te r
board next Tuesday. The re ­novation
project which was
s ta r ted las t year had a se t­back
when a questionaire re-urned
by me rch an ts seemed
to indicate they felt other p ro ­jects
were more sorely need­ed.
The hoard of review approv­ed
a plan of Ronald Whitcraf t
to remodel his proper ty a t 30 7
E. Main Street. This was ap ­proved
by the zoning board a
week ago. Wh itc ra f t plans to
p u t formstone siding on the
exterior, add sh u t te r s and a
rail fence. He also will add
two rooms to the building and
refinish the inside for three
apartments .
