Page 10 - SUSQUEHANNA TIMES Despite recession, new businesses are increasing in Mount Joy area Despite the recession, a number of new businesses have opened their doors in Mount Joy this last year. One new business that’s a little bit different is Ernie Wintermute’s Flea Market just east of town on Main Street. There you can buy a grandfather clock, a copper kettle, a spinning wheel, or a collection of exotic beer cans. They also have old coins, plank bottom chairs, wood stoves...and things the Susquehanna Times didn’t even know existed. The Flea Market is housed in an old barn. There are 10 stands and 23 booths full of antiques and collectibles. Ernie also has a furniture refinishing ser- vice available. On the other end of town next to the Farm Diner is another new business, The Dutchman’s Store, which sells all types of outerwear clothing. Run by Norman and Anna Smith, the outlet handles many brand name goods at wholesale prices. They also carry candles, decorations, and gifts. Just moved to a new location is the Brida! Bou- quet Flower Shop at 411 West Main Street, right next to Weis Market. Run by E. Christine Burkhart, the Bridal Bouquet handles all types of green, dried and cut flowers for gifts, funerais, etc., as well as weddings. They also carry candles. Heading East again one hits Ship-Shape Antiques and Collectibles at 68 East Main Street. Gladys Swope the proprietor, opened the shop last September after collecting her collectibles in her garage for a year. She has a number of quaint old paintings. as well as furniture, lamps and other antiques. The First Federal Bank opened a branch office in Mount Joy two weeks ago. The bank was founded in 1875, and has assets of $98,758,616. The Mount Joy bank is located on Main Street near the library. Gladys Swope runs the Ship-Shape Antiques Shop.
