CoreLife Eatery, an active lifestyle restaurant offering a variety of greens, grains and broth-based dishes, will continue bolstering its Pennsylvania presence by opening a new location in Lancaster! CoreLife Eatery, brings together scratch cooking with flavorful source ingredients and a fast, casual service line for a healthy and affordable eating alternative.

The highly anticipated new eatery, located at 1581 Fruitville Pike, Suite 1 (behind Chick-fil-A), will open its doors for the first time at 11 a.m. on Thursday, June 21. CoreLife Eatery offers a wide variety of fresh ingredients that are transformed into custom-created dishes. All foods are free of trans fats, artificial colors, sweeteners, other artificial additives and GMO’s.

Creating a menu that tastes great because it’s healthy is the secret to success.
