Downtown Harrisburg retailer temporarily relocates as its store is expanded, renovated

The former Rite Aid store in downtown Harrisburg has become the temporary home of DTLR/Villa.

A downtown Harrisburg store has relocated temporarily as its space is remodeled and expanded.

DTLR/Villa recently moved down block for several months into 309-311 Market St., the former location of the downtown Rite Aid store.

Harristown Enterprises, the owner of both locations, stated that DTLR/Villa, a national fashion and sports apparel retailer, is expanding its store at 333 Market St. from 4,000 to 7,000 square feet, as well as upgrading its décor.

“We are excited to see retail expanding in the downtown,” said Brad Jones, president and CEO of Harristown. “With so much retail moving to an online presence, it is encouraging that DTLR is increasing and upgrading their store footprint.”

Harristown anticipates that the renovation and expansion will take 90 to 120 days, with completion in the spring.

“We were happy to accommodate them during this renovation in one of our available spaces along Market Street,” Jones said.

The space at 309-311 Market St. has been empty since Rite Aid moved across the street into larger space in Strawberry Square in 2017.

DTLR is a national retailer with 250 stores in 19 states. Its hours will be unchanged, Monday to Thursday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m.
