BB’s Grocery Outlet (4 Pennsylvania Locations)

Amish-Owned Discount Grocery Stores

Some photos of BB’s, a PA Amish bent-n-dent grocery. These photos are from the store’s Lebanon County location (Myerstown area; addresses at end of post).

Amish Grocery Outlet

BB’s in fact has 4 locations across southeastern PA, including in Lancaster County, Berks County, and Cumberland County (see below for addresses).

Amish Grocery Store

The reader who took these photos says it reminds him of an “Amish Costco”, and that it is quite popular with both English and Amish customers. The Lebanon County Amish community is nowhere near as big as nearby Lancaster, but with 200 or so households it’s not tiny.

Restroom Amish Store

Says our photographer Richard: “A can of Green beans is about 50 cents each and their brands are more of the brands that we know, but also ones that I’ve never heard of before.”

Produce Section Amish Store

Freezer Amish Store

Richard notes: “As you can see they sell milk and fruit and also frozen items which they will gladly supply you with a coat to go inside.”

    Thanks for posting the photos. We had our first snow of the season here in central NC, and there’s not much to do except stay inside and work on the internet. At least it gives me something to look at. Wish we had one of these nearby.

    Nice job with this post Erik........

    Nice job with the pictures Erik and in fact I’m going to BB’s today to buy some orange juice and a few other things I’m sure. From looking at this business at a distance you wouldn’t really think that it is Amish owned and run, until you pull into the parking lot and notice those outside gas lamps and then you will think to yourself “something is really different about this place”. I had asked a young Amish girl who was working in the store if i could see the manager, so she let him know i had a question for him. I waited what must have been 25 mins and i then thought “this is not happening” and i headed for the door to leave , as i was almost outside the store the Amish manager was running behind me and told me it was ok to snap some shots. So many folks have talked about this place which is located close to my own home, yet I’ve never seen any images of it until now! Richard

    Because of a post here last year, when I was in Pa. last Sept, I took an afternoon and went to this store. Really enjoyed the experience, and the “cold locker” or walk-in refridgerator was neat. I remember that they had flowers, cheeses, all kinds of thing in there. And it was VERY cold.

    There is a great store that sits beside this one that has lovely things for the home.

    The scenery on the ride over, the country, everything made this an enjoyable afternoon–and not much money spent.

      Where is it?

      OK – I’m reading all these posts about this Amish store in LEbanon County. I live in Lebanon County and never heard of it! Where in Lebanon County is it? Can you give me a name of a town it is near, or is that giving away too much information? I’d like to check it out! Thanks! Whoever wrote that Lebanon County is a beautiful place to live was right on! The farms are beautiful and rolling hills and open fields lovely. I see Amish buggies go by my house every day, which is still fun to see after being here almost 25 years! I grew up in Lancaster County so I know about the commercialism of the Amish there. I’ll take Lebanon any day over Lancaster!

    Hello Loretta....

    Hi Loretta and I’m glad you had a nice time in my neck of the woods of Lebanon counties Amish community. I had passed BB’s by so many times without ever stopping in, so I’m glad this time i had the sense to at least give it a look after hearing about it for some time now. Lebanon county to me anyway really is very beautiful and has a very charming Amish settlement, and like Erik has said its much smaller compared to the Amish settlement in Lancaster county, but its also un-spoiled and we like it that way. So the Amish move about here more naturally and without worries from tour buses’ and droves of tourist, so lets please keep this as our little secret! Richard

  5. Robin M.

    We have a dear friend who lives in Lebanon. I will have to ask her about this place and stop in the next time we visit. Thanks for sharing … very interesting!!

  6. So lets please keep this as our little secret! Huh?

    Sorry Richard, the cat is out of the bag now. I will try to visit there this summer (and make purchases) lol.

  7. Loretta

    Richard, are you serious?

    Really, Richard, you think we can keep a secret? lol
    Seriously, I did not realize this was in Lebanon County
    because it’s not far from Strasburg. I go to an Amish
    farm on my way there that does woodwork as I had bought a nice rocking horse for my granddaughters and I like to see what
    else they have. Then I went to Goodes store, found my
    way over the B & Bs, looked in the home decor shop awhile,
    then found my way over to Georgetown to the Hometown Kitchen,
    had a wonderful meal, what they call the “wedding meal”,
    stopped at Kings on the corner–then went back to my bed
    and breakfast.

    A perfect day, I’d say. Hoping to do it again this year.

    I'm hardly ever serious Loretta,lol

    I’m hardly ever serious Loretta,lol, but yes folks know that their are other Amish settlement’s in other countie’s besides Lancaster. And i know some people dog Lancaster a little for being too commercialized and changing in the wrong direction, but as I’ve said before I’m still bullish on the place and think its still a very beautiful place to live and visit. So i would say Lancaster is evolving more than changing, and after all aren’t we ourselves changing just a little in some ways as we get older. So considering I’m someone who hates getting serous, that was pretty serous,lol. Richard

    Nice pictures Richard. As always,enjoy reading your posts. Just wish they were, oh, 1,100 miles or so closer!

  10. Debbie Welsh

    Richard; You didn’t mention the exact location of this BB’s store but it looks like the one in Schaefferstown. I think Loretta is referring to the BB’s store in Quarryville by the way she’s explaining things.

  11. Richard from Amish Stories

    Your correct Debbie.............

    Your right Debbie its the one in Schaefferstown on 419. Richard

  12. Loretta

    Quarryville

    Yes, I was referring to the one in Quarryville. I just assumed that this was the one. I knew the outside picture didn’t look real familiar, but I thought maybe I didn’t pay a lot of attention to it.

    Thanks, Debbie Welsh.

    BB Store

    I have not been to this store.I love the Good store and
    go each time I visit my sister who lives in Myerstown.
    I certainly will ask her about the BB store.
    Thanks

    Great Shopping!

    My wife and I live near Roanoke, Va and travel to Pa. to visit family still living in York County. Every trip we make we go to Quarryville and go to BB’s. Last trip we got $110 in groceries and that has supplemented our groceries for the past 6 months. We have saved hundreds of dollars by going there.

    Ohio Amish

    We live in Lebanon, Pa. I never heard of a salvage store till we stopped at a Walmart in Ohio and seen an article. The Amish there had quit a few of them. We get our meats at Stohler’s Meat Market at the end of Schaefferstown, so will check this place out. Good article and pics
