SELINSGROVE -- One store that will be open on Easter is Weis Markets in Selinsgrove.

With Easter only two days away, people packed into Weis Markets in Selinsgrove to get last minute items. Taunda Snyder of Selinsgrove says Good Friday is a "good" day to go shopping.

"My granddaughter is staying with me, so I'm out just trying to find some things for her that we can eat and have fun with on Easter," she said.

The supermarket was prepared for the rush. Store manager Jim Malick says this store will most likely do double its normal business this weekend.

"Order extra stuff in for the holiday: the hams, the eggs for the egg dying, flowers. So yeah, we doubled up our inventory to accommodate the business," Malick said.

In addition to having extra product on hand, the store scheduled extra employees to work this weekend so all of the customers are taken care of.

Easter items were on display so customers could find them easily. Ham, eggs, and candy were big sellers. Gloria Brubaker of Selinsgrove was looking for flowers.

"I just took my sister from Geisinger to the nursing home for rehab. She had a knee replacement. I just thought for Easter, since she's going to be in there, I'd get her a couple of flowers," said Brubaker.

As for Taunda Snyder, she found what she was looking for, too.

"I was looking at these cakes because they really look like something she would love," Snyder said.

Weis Markets will be open all day on Easter Sunday.
