Mystery solved!
Little Caesars will be going in at the former Pizza Hut site along Route 462 (Lancaster Avenue), next to Mountville Motors.
It seems fitting that a pizza place will replace a pizza place.
Columbia's decision to ban former employee from its property may be 'unconstitutional' [Lancaster Watchdog]
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.

Why couldn't they have chosen another franchise so Columbia people could have variety ( better quality too)
Wasted space
Dear Boro Council
As a hardworking (not collecting free $) taxpaying homeowner...I am 100% AGAINST hiring yet ANOTHER part time code enforcement officer (as advertised in the Merchandiser). IF the 3 did their jobs and ENFORCED VIOLATIONS/ORDINANCES already on the books..it wouldn't be a problem. I think they have lost sight of the purpose of their jobs. ** First and foremost THE CODE OFFICERS should be CONSTANTLY, DAILY, CHECKING ALL KNOWN PROBLEM PROPERTIES....ALL UNSAFE, UNKEPT, VACANT, absentee landlords, PROBLEMATIC
PROPERTIES that someone has to live beside. IF ANY OF YOU HAD TO LIVE NEXT DOOR TO ANY ONE OF THESE PROPERTIES, YOU WOULD CHANGE YOUR TUNE. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. COUNCIL - YOU MUST BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE. DO NOT HIRE ANY CODE OFFICERS. MAKE THE ONES YOU HAVE COUNT!
PROPERTIES that someone has to live beside..."
Geez... if they need to do that every day, we need at least 50 more code officers.

High taxes, low priced homes equal bad rentals.
Its only going to get worse Columbia residents. Every house that's bought in Columbia by a landlord at a low price is appealled by that landlord to the county courthouse to get their asessment lowered. Its automatically lowered by the sale price. This in turn allows them to pay less in taxes. Everytime the school district or the boro raises taxes property values drop.
sorry i dont think the boro needs another code officer either. there are 3...YES threee...wth???
