Lots of the items are just like you would buy at a grocery store, except they are at a lower price. Great deals can be found on items like Gatorade, Propel and lots of candybars. The stores can be busy at times, and the hours are not the best, usually 8 to 5. But the prices are great, and if you check the dates on items, you can save a lot of money.

I've been to the one in Newburg...the lighting is provided by skylights, so on dark days, the store looks closed. They do have some gas lighting. The freezer section is excellent, but make sure to take your coat, esp in the summertime. I don't take my kids in, it's so cold. Great bargains, but remember cash only!

They actually started accepting credit cards and debit cards. I know they accept mastercard, not sure if they accept credit cards. I was there about 2 months ago, and that was the first time that I was there that they accepted credit cards.

Thanks for the info...my last visit was going on 3 months ago. Now I won't have to carry so much cash!

I am looking for a business that is run by Amish / Mennonites that sells food but also other items like H&B (shampoo, creams & lotions, toys..

I buy things from a lady that lives near the PA/MD border in Hagerstown MD. It take her 1-2 hours to get to the store but she won't tell me where the store is. What I know from out conversations is that there is a store and then the owners also sale things to her by the banana box and/or pallets full. She buys things that they can't move in their store or things that they will not sale like make-up, birth control items and things like that. Any thoughts on a store that has more than just groceries?

B&B Grocery Outlet in Newburg, PA is an Amish owned store that sells groceries and items like shampoo, shaving cream, moisturizers and other items that a drug store would sell. Its about 6 miles north of Shippensburg, PA and just a few miles off of the turnpike at the Shippensburg exit

Yeah, I would think it's BBs too. If you go up Route 11, to Shippensburg, when you get to the the intersection with Select Family Restaurant, make a left and follow that road out, past the university , and keep going, until you see a road called (I kid you not) Lover's Lane, make a right, follow it out and it will come out to another road with a firehall one the one corner, make another right, and follow that road about a mile and BB's will be on your left.
