For 20 years, East Penn AAA has been downtown Pottstown in the renovated freight depot. Now, they are running off to Limerick Square Shopping Center on December 6th! PeopleShare and Domino’s already moved out, leaving this beautiful renovated building empty as of December 6th! PeopleShare moved to Lower Pottsgrove Township (just over the border). Domino’s remained in Pottstown Borough and relocated to Pottstown Plaza.
Ummmmm….hello borough officials. Did anyone try to relocate East Penn AAA within our borders? We have shopping center space a-plenty at Pottstown Center and Pottstown Plaza, along with other areas of the borough! After 20 years they up and move!
Update: Councilor Rhoads responded to my question above:
“I previously talked with a lady at AAA about why they were moving and she said it was not due to any situation in Pottstown. She said Douglasville was their area boundary at this end and that they wanted to be more centralized. She said Lansdale is the nearest office that way.”
Many thanks to Councilor Rhoads for speaking with AAA and for taking the time to let us know that a community leader spoke with this business regarding their decision to leave Pottstown!
