Weis Markets chairman and CEO Jonathan Weis said: “Saylor’s has served the Newville community with a strong focus on customer service and a commitment to its community. We share these values and look forward to interviewing Saylors’ associates for employment with our company.” 

The acquisition marks Weis Markets’ third store purchase in 2024 alone. In October 2024, the company expanded its footprint by acquiring two stores in Franklin County, which were then reestablished as Weis Market stores by 1 November. 

The Food Partners acted as strategic and financial advisor to Saylor’s Market in the transaction. 

Saylor’s Market co-owners Craig and Curt Saylor said: “We would like to thank the Newville community for their patronage and support over the past 47 years. We enjoyed meeting each and every one of our customers, along with serving the community.”
