This month, the Olde Mill House Shoppes, which sells country gifts, furniture, crafts and lighting, is marking the opening of a new design center on its property at 105 Strasburg Pike.

Housed in an 18th-century farmhouse near Mill Creek, the roughly 3,000-square feet of new retail space will feature a home decorating center with various furnishings.

The design center, which covers two floors, opened in late December as an addition to the retail space Olde Mill has in a converted barn on its property.

Olde Mill House Shoppes is owned by Tina Ator and her brother-in-law, John Blowers.

Store hours: 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.

City Subway opens

The new Subway restaurant at 19 E. King St. is set to open this morning.

The 1,600-square-foot sandwich shop has seating for about 50. It take us the first floor of a new building constructed at the site of a former bank drive-through. The second floor has office space.

Since a location at Prince and Orange streets closed in May 2007, downtown Lancaster has been without a Subway. John Baker owns the new Subway franchise.

Hours: 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday. After April 1, the restaurant will open at 7 a.m. Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. Sunday.

Mall candy

Dutch Treats, which features homemade candies and chocolates as well as novelty treats, opened a kiosk March 1 in center court at Park City Center.

Amos Smucker, who owns the candy stand, said he was opening the mall location on a three-month trial basis but may keep it for longer. He also has a stand at the Newtown Farmer's Market, near Philadelphia.

City Folk change

City Folk, an antiques and lifestyle store at 146 N. Prince St., has a new owner.

As of March 1, Karen Hafer Anderer is in charge of the store, which features antiques and home furnishings, as well as artwork and garden pieces. Anderer said she doesn't plan any big changes for the store, which had been owned by Dennis and Gaye Cox.

Hours: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

New in Lititz

One Mind Galleria, which features paintings and sterling silver jewelry alongside tanning and teeth whitening services, opened Feb. 1.

The new business at 3 Front St. is above the Shear Sensations Salon and Day Spa at 101 N. Broad St. One Mind Galleria has taken three upstairs rooms that had formerly belonged to the salon. The owner is Joanne Walton.

Hours: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.

For the curious

Also in Lititz, on Friday, the Curiosity Shoppe will open in its new space at 39 E. Main Street. The shop, which sells antiques, curios and household items, had been in a roughly 900-square foot shop at 61 E. Main St.

The new space, which formerly housed English's Country Corner, has a second floor and will give the Curiosity Shoppe about three times more room, owner Kim Berry said.

The store has added country items, including furniture, to its offerings, she said.

Hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Split Ends

Finally, the salon Split Ends opened this month at 13 S. Main St. in Manheim, not Lititz, as was mistakenly reported in last week's "What's in Store" column.
