Dozens of patrons gathered at Huberâs West End Market on Sunday afternoon to say goodbye to the city storeâs longtime owners.
The market, located at 501 West Lemon Street, was purchased last month by Adam and Tracey Davis after more than 60 years of ownership by the Huber family.
Friends Sam Hoover, 13, and brothers Collin, 14, and Benjamin Gibbel, 10, all of Lancaster, were enjoying the free food and music Sunday to mark the Huber familyâs departure.
âIâm not really sure what itâs going to be like (under new ownership),â said Hoover who usually walks to the store multiple times a week to grab snacks and drinks. âIn a way itâs disappointing, but Iâm also excited.â
After more than half a century of serving generations of customers, the Hubers will be stepping away from their namesake Lancaster city market.
While the family that started and then expanded Huberâs West End Market will be saying goodbye with free hotdogs and live music from noon to 3 p.m. Sunday, the grocery store at 501 W. Lemon St. wonât be going away.
The circa-1920 building was bought earlier this month by Adam and Tracey Davis, who plan to renovate it and then have Horse Inn owners Matthew and Starla Russell operate it as West End Market, keeping it a small grocery store, but expanding its offerings.
