TOUR: Hayes' Market - Waymart, PA

Hayes' Market Owner:  Rich Hayes Opened:  2019 Cooperative:  ShurSave Location:  686 Roosevelt Hwy, Waymart, PA Photographed:  December 18, 2019 Last week we saw the Ray's Market in Waymart, PA, and today we're revisiting the 23,000 square foot store after it was sold to new owners in 2019 and reopened as Hayes' Market.

Snapshot: Ray's Market - Waymart, PA

Ray's Market Owner:  Ray Petty Opened:  unknown Cooperative:  ShurSave Location:  686 Roosevelt Hwy, Waymart, PA Photographed:  December 22, 2018 Today's snapshot is a disappointingly bad nighttime picture of the Ray's ShurSave in Waymart, PA, on route 6 as it winds its way out of the Wyoming Valley into the mountain range. This store opened at some point in the 1980s or 90s (I'm really not sure), then closed in 2019. Another ShurSave operator took on the location in 2019, reopening it under the name Hayes' Market. We're going to take a tour of that store on Monday!
