A new store - Anna's Gifts & Sundries - opened on Feb. 6 at The Shoppes at Miller's in Ronks.

The grand opening celebration and ribbon cutting was led by members of the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce. Speaking at the event was Tom Neely, CEO of Thomas E. Strauss Inc., the local family-owned hospitality group in Lancaster County that owns Miller's Smorgasbord and other local businesses.

Visitors also had the opportunity to visit Miller's Smorgasbord, which has completed the first phase of its lobby renovations that include new bathrooms and adding a vestibule to the entrance.

Anna's Gifts & Sundries is named after Miller's Smorgasbord founder, Anna Miller. In 1929, Anna's husband, Enos, opened a truck repair, and Anna offered Pennsylvania Dutch specialties like her homemade chicken and waffles to those who came in. Over time, the restaurant surpassed the gas station and truck repair business.

Initially, Anna's Gifts & Sundries will offer many items available in the Miller's Lobby Gift Shop, including jewelry, apparel and bath items, gradually adding more Lancaster County-flavored home decor. The store is located next to the Locally Made Food Shop, which focuses on Lancaster County-made food items. This allows guests to create gift baskets with items from both stores, designing the perfect gift for family and friends.

The Shoppes at Miller's is located at 2811 Lincoln Highway East, Ronks, a few minutes past American Music Theater and Tanger Outlets on Route 30. Shoppers will find several locally-owned stores in addition to Miller's Smorgasbord. The Locally Made Food Shop features items from Miller's Bakery and other local foods. The Quilt Shop at Miller's focuses on local handcrafts and hand stitched quilts from local artisans. Ruthie's is a women's apparel boutique. Anna's Gifts and Sundries focuses on home decor and Lancaster County mementos.
