The Penn Traffic Department Store is back in business in the pages of this one-of-a-kind book. Now’s your chance to revisit this Johnstown, Pennsylvania landmark or experience its magic for the very first time. The whole true story of the legendary store, its employees, and the shoppers who loved it is right here, complete with all your favorite treats and traditions. Help yourself to Penn Way candies...have a burger and fries in the Penn Traffic restaurant...relax on the mezzanine...and wait on the sidewalk on a cold winter’s night for the grand unveiling of the most spectacular Christmas window in town. You’ll never forget this trip through history, from the store’s pre-Civil War beginnings to its dramatic finale 123 years later, with three devastating floods, an epic fire, and a high-stakes robbery in between. Hundreds of photos, never before gathered in one place, will whisk you back in time to the people and events that made Penn Traffic great...and carry you forward for a special tour of the Penn Traffic building as it stands today, complete with traces and treasures from the store’s glory days. You’ll feel like you’ve returned to the store of your dreams, especially when you cook up the authentic goodies in the Penn Traffic recipe section, handed down from the store’s own bakery and candy kitchen all-stars. If you’ve ever longed to go back to the magical department store where you always felt at home, or you just wish for a simpler, sweeter place where the air smells like baking bread and the customer is always right, step inside.

Don't miss this trip back in time to the glory days of the Penn Traffic Department Store by Robert Jeschonek, award-winning author of Long Live Glosser’s, Christmas at Glosser’s, and The Glory of Gable's.

"Very interesting read about a department store in western/central Pennsylvania. The book has thorough research but does not shy from adding the human element. Penn Traffic is another regional department store chain that disappeared in the changing retail environment of the last 40 years. The Penn Traffic Company is studied in a manner that offers insight into how the company changed and eventually collapsed, all with photographs, old advertising, and anecdotes from former employees and customers. I too once sat on Santa's lap in the Johnstown store (1960's) and I later frequented the PT store in a nearby town, begging my mother to buy me "PF Flyers" there. A nice piece of nostalgia for those living in western and central Pennsylvania where such fascinating stores have now been replaced by the generic, boxy, and boring WalMarts."--Yonnie, Amazon Reviewer

"Being formerly from Johnstown. this brought back many great memories, especially holiday times. Pictures are great."--Joanne Knapp, Amazon Reviewer

"I loved all of the reminiscing and actually knew many of the people in the interviews. The story was complete, with a lot of the early history very fascinating. I grew up in Johnstown in the 1950s and 60s and often ate and shopped at PT. I still have my credit card."--Byron C. Custer, Amazon Reviewer
