Reading, Pa. - Redner's
Warehouse Markets is ready to open it's 43rd store in Palmer Township on
Wednesday, October 3, 2001. The
store is located at 3745 Nicholas St. Easton, Pa. 18042.
There will be an open house on Tuesday, October 2, from 6 - 9:00 p.m. for

the community and answer any questions the public may have.

This new store will be 69,135 square feet, making it the largest store in
the chain and features many new amenities such as an Italian Sub-Shoppe/wing

offering a larger variety of products. This store will also have a dining area
