2 New Businesses Opening In Hatboro

HATBORO, PA —While the borough awaits the outcome of two downtown development projects, it's welcoming a few new businesses to town.

During her community outreach report at last week's Borough Council committee meeting, Councilwoman Nicole Reichner announced that two new businesses have joined the borough.

Gillian the Salon has opened at 120 S. York Rd. Suite B in the Red Barn Mall.

Meanwhile, Gatcha Gallery —a gift shop and art gallery —is planning a late September opening at 51 N. York Rd. Suite A.

The new businesses are among the additions to the borough over the past few months as Hatboro works to change its downtown landscape.

In late July, the borough announced the opening of four new businesses. They included Tiflisi Nail Spa, a Sunoco on North York Road, Chino Barbershop, and Ariella's Kid Exchange, a children’s consignment shop.

In mid-July, Gallo Tropical, a Mexican restaurant at 134 S. York Rd., was replaced by Amor A La Mexicana.

Gamburg's Furniture has also announced its official closing after 94 yearsin the borough.

Meanwhile, the future of Bernie's Restaurant & Bar is still up in the air.

Bernie's closure came just after a raid by state authorities last month for a liquor license violation.

In late April, Mr. Wish —a natural fruit tea store —held its grand opening on South York Road.
The York Road location is one of 20 in Pennsylvania. Hatboro officials have worked to fill vacant properties over the past few years.

The Hatboro Planning Commission is also weighing two proposals to develop the long-dormant CVS property and former diner property under the borough's Town Center Ordinance. Both plans are expected once again before the commission at its Oct. 10 meeting.
