The Ephrata Good’s Store has moved to 1127 South State Street, and is now open for business!
Our new store is in the building which was the former Ephrata Kmart. When Kmart closed their store, Good’s Store saw an opportunity and purchased the property. The building has undergone substantial renovations, and will be divided into two stores, each occupying half of the building: Good’s Store and Dutch-Way Farm Market. (While Good’s Store is now open for business, Dutch-Way Farm Market plans to open later toward the end of the summer).

The new Ephrata Good’s Store is about 4 times larger than our former store at West Main Street, with about 34,000 square feet of retail space. With the much larger retail space, the new Ephrata store is able to offer an expanded selection of merchandise across the board. As before, clothing and footwear are prominent categories, with brands including Carhartt®, Wrangler®, Under Armour®, Carolina®, Muck Boots®, and Skechers®. The selection of work boots has been considerably expanded. Also, men’s suits are available for the first time at our Ephrata store.
The new store has also greatly expanded the selection of home goods, including kitchen, canning, cleaning, bed, bath, and curtains. Among the brands for sale are KitchenAid® appliances, Ball® canning supplies, OXO® and Norpro® kitchen gadgets, Achim® mini blinds, and Capitol Earth Rugs®. There is also an expanded selection of home décor items, candles, gifts, cards, and books, including children’s books, cookbooks, and Bibles. The toy department has more games, puzzles, and toys from Lego®, Melissa & Doug®, and Ertl®, and now offers plush toys for sale.
Probably the greatest changes for the new store can be seen in the hardware, sporting goods, and lawn & garden categories. For the first time, the Ephrata store sells paint: Clark + Kensington® and Rust-oleum® paints, and Wooster® and Purdy® paint applicators. We have power tools, including DeWalt® tools, electrical and plumbing supplies, National® builders’ hardware, and Hillman® fasteners. Also for the first time, the Ephrata store is able to cut keys, including high-security auto keys. The selection of lawn & garden products, such as solar-powered outdoor décor and birding supplies, has been greatly expanded, and for the first time, Traeger® grills and grilling supplies are available. The new store offers more pet supplies, and we’ve added Blue Buffalo® pet food to go with Ex-cell® and Taste of the Wild®. In the sporting goods department, you can find more options from Coleman®, Igloo®, and Franklin Sports®, and as before, you will see Spikeball®, Bell® biking accessories, and Innova® disc golf products.
While much has changed with the relocation of the Ephrata Store to 1127 South State Street, Good’s Store continues to offer a wide selection of essential goods for the entire family at low prices. Also available are items made by local Lancaster County craftsmen, including suchthings as bird feeders and bird houses, wooden drying racks, Biothane® harness belts, corn hole games, cast iron quoits, and croquet sets. Good’s Store remains committed to providing a friendly welcome and helpful service to all shoppers, and we are looking forward to serving the Ephrata community and surrounding areas in this new location. We can’t wait to see you there!
