25 New Businesses Opened In Hatboro In 2024

HATBORO, PA —In a town that is just a tad over a square mile, downtown development showed signs of life in 2024.

Cindy Bollendorf, who wrapped up her downtown development tenure, said at the recent Hatboro Borough Council meeting that 25 new businesses opened last year with at least four more coming shortly.

Some of those new businesses that have opened recently include a convenience store, a restaurant, a grocery store, and a bakery.

Having three bakeries nearby in the York Road downtown district might seem peculiar. But not if they all have different specialties.

Lochel's Bakery focuses on traditional baked goods like cakes and cookies while Nonno's Bakery just across the street features authentic Italian pastries, gelato, bread, and also cookies and cakes.

Meanwhile, the new kid on the block is Lilit's Bakery at 37 S. York Rd., near Produce Junction.

Lilit's Bakery is the third family-owned specialty bakery, offering such baked goods as Honey Cake, Macaroons, Gata, Eclairs, and Red Velvet Cake.

Not far away is The Greek Korner, a family-owned eatery serving classic Greek dishes and pastries at 133 S. York Rd.

Meanwhile, while the new Wawa at the corner of Horsham Road and South York Road pulls in a steady stream of business, the old Wawa on North York Road is attracting its own loyal customers.

The Sparta convenience store —which also has locations in Warrington and Doylestown —is offering residents a chance to pick up some fast food and other items at its location near the McDonald's.
