While the West Shore has a number of empty retail spaces, the East Shore area surrounding Harrisburg seems to have many more.
Bon-Ton, HHGregg, A.C. Moore and Wolf Furniture have all closed for good in recent years, leaving behind large, vacant stores on the East shore, some of which have been empty for years. Other retailers like Macy’s have closed stores as they try to focus on more profitable regions.
And the empty spaces didn’t just pop up yesterday as the “retail apocalypse” has been going on for years. But last year’s shutdowns, capacity restrictions and a decrease in foot traffic related to COVID-19 have left numerous retailers closing their doors.
Comcast sets sights on central Pa.: 5 new Xfinity stores planned for the region

Last year, Comcast ended an era in the midstate. It closed its last service center location.
Comcast’s former service centers were for customers to pay bills and return items. They were typically attached to the company’s technical support centers. Many were located on back streets or in business parks, and options beyond paying a bill or returning a device were limited.
But then in December 2014, Comcast opened its first Xfinity Store in the midstate in Springettsbury Township, York County. A month later it opened a store in the Lancaster area. Three months later there was another store that opened in Spring Township, Berks County. In January 2017, Xfinity opened a store at the Colonial Commons shopping center on Jonestown Road in Lower Paxton Township. In March 2019, Comcast opened a store in Chambersburg, Franklin County.
