But those tight local ties soon will get a bit looser.
After having its headquarters at North Prince and West Chestnut streets in downtown Lancaster for 12 years, Auntie Anneâs is moving its headquarters to Atlanta, where its owner is based, LNP | LancasterOnline has learned.
The impact of the relocation on the global retailerâs office staff here is not known.
