Weis Markets Breaks Ground on Maryland Store
Weis Markets held a groundbreaking ceremony to kick off the construction of a new store. The Lake Linganore supermarket, which will be located on Old National Pike in Ijamsville, Md., is Weis Markets’ first new construction project since the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020.
The store – the company’s 50th location in Maryland and seventh in the state’s Frederick County, will also showcase the latest in innovative store design, in addition to a six-pump Weis Gas N’ Go fuel center. Store features will include large fresh departments, a pharmacy and a grocery department offering a wide range of products.
