A Year of Milestones

Royal Farms has been collecting milestones this year, as just last month, the chain officially opened its 300th location in Millersville, Md.

“Reaching our 300th store is a proud achievement for Royal Farms, and it’s a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team,” said Rob Newell, zone leader at Royal Farms. “Our journey from a small group of convenience stores to a regional leader has been incredible, and we are excited to continue serving our customers with the same commitment to quality and convenience that has defined us for over 60 years.”

This opening marked a significant moment for the customer-favorite retailer, and was commemorated with a grand opening ceremony and numerous in-store deals.

“Our 300th store in Millersville highlights the growth and vision of our entire team. It’s more than just a milestone; it’s about continuing to bring quality and exceptional service to even more communities,” said Amy Pantoja, district leader at Royal Farms. “We’re excited to introduce the Royal Farms experience to Millersville and look forward to becoming a valued part of this vibrant community.”

Royal Farms opened its first store in Baltimore, Md., in 1959. Today, the chain has locations in Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, West Virginia and North Carolina.
