Turkey Hill re-opens its remodeled Prospect Road store

By -

The Turkey Hill Minit Markets store at 1199 Prospect Road, Columbia, re-opened its doors Thursday after a renovation and expansion that took more than 12 weeks.
Now 4,500 square feet, the store has an updated décor and broader selection of products.
New offerings include hot pizza, available in 14-inch pies or by the slice,  and an upgraded coffee brewing system.
The cost and other details of the renovation and expansion, which began Dec. 1, were not immediately available.
Open 24 hours a day, the Prospect Road store employs 25 people.
Turkey Hill will hold a grand re-opening for the store on Friday, March 14, from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Lancaster-based Turkey Hill has 61 convenience stores in Lancaster County. The first opened in 1967.

I'm surprised that they didn't add a petting zoo and charge people to learn the history of cows

I missed this store. I did stop there for gas, but didn't go in as every non-gas pump parking spot was taken up. I think they got an exemption for number of parking spaces, but they really should have added more.

Personally, I think they should have built a new store across the road (where wawa and sheetz were interested in), but I hear the twp. won't allow direct access off of 462. I don't think an entrance just off of Prospect would have kept anyone away - probably would have made the store easier to get in and out.

But nobody asked me.

You're right about the parking spaces. It's always hard to find one there. The former Minit Mart at 9th & 462 is open again, under new ownership.

Columbia's decision to ban former employee from its property may be 'unconstitutional' [Lancaster Watchdog]

By Columbia Spy -

Chris Vera [Columbia Spy file photo] The following information is excerpted from a December 6, 2025 LNP Watchdog article by LNP | LancasterOnline reporter Jade Campos. Still reeling from an abrupt firing from his role as head of the Columbia Market House in March, Chris Vera was surprised to get a letter in the mail from a Columbia Borough attorney two weeks later telling him he was banned indefinitely from borough property. The letter gave no reason for the ban. Nine months later, Vera, who has served as president of the Columbia Historic Preservation Society for more than a decade and has helped with the borough’s comprehensive plan, is still banned from borough property. He believes the ban includes borough parks, which is part of the reason he moved his annual Albatwitch Day festival, which celebrates the myth of a local cryptid, to Wrightsville. Vera said he’s not sure why the borough went to such lengths to keep him away from public spaces given his termination from the borough s...

NATHAN WILLISON | LNP Staff Writer An East Donegal Township man is facing criminal charges after police say he struck a 13-year-old with his truck and fled the scene last month.  Derek Scott Mohr, 28, is charged with causing an accident involving death or injury without a license, failing to stop to render aid, driving at an unsafe speed and related charges.  Mohr had been driving a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado through Chestnut Street in Columbia around 8 p.m. March 20 when he struck a 13-year-old boy riding a motorized scooter and continued driving, according to charging documents filed by police.  When police arrived, they found the boy with a broken leg and a cut to his forehead. His scooter was lying nearby, its handlebars completely snapped off.  Another teenager who witnessed what happened described the truck to police and said that the driver made no attempt to stop after striking the boy. Surveillance footage collected from the area shows the truck striking the b...

Mayor Lutz must accept responsibility

By Columbia Spy -

  GUEST COMMENTARY [Name withheld by request out of fear of retaliation] For two decades, Leo Lutz has occupied the mayor's office in Columbia, and his supporters are quick to credit him with every positive development in our borough, but leadership is a two-way street. If Mayor Lutz is going to accept praise for Columbia's successes, many of which, frankly, he had little direct involvement in, then he must also be held accountable for our failures. The facts paint a troubling picture. Despite the mayor's repeated assurances that our streets are safe, we've witnessed a disturbing rise in assaults, shootings, and vandalism. His promises have fallen by the wayside: the foot patrol we were promised never materialized, nor did the bike patrol that was supposed to increase our sense of security. Fiscally, the situation is equally dire. Taxes have increased at least twice during Mayor Lutz's tenure, yet the borough now finds itself millions of dollars in debt. This isn...
