New Restaurant Depot location in Harrisburg, PA

I just noticed that Restaurant Depot has recently opened a store in the Harrisburg area at 4250 Chambers Hill Rd Harrisburg,
PA 17111. Haven't had a chance to visit there yet but those of you that live near there may want to stop in and do some shopping.
It does require you to have a business (doesn't have to be food related) to get a membership (no charge) But you can also get a free day pass by showing a membership card from the Kansas City BBQ Society.
The other locations I have been to have a great meat and fish selection but this one doesn't have their fish market open yet.
@cortguitarman and @dmw, you might be interested in this.

Thanks for posting @Shiff! It's not much closer than for me than the Langhorne or Philadelphia location, but no question it will be faster to get to. I appreciate the heads up.They/Them

I visited the RD in Suitland MD and was not impressed with the cleanliness of the refrigerator section. It also seemed like the "shoppers" were grabbing stuff as fast as they could - but there really weren't that many people in that section. I did like some of the prices I saw. I do not (yet) have a KCBS "ticket" or a EIN number. It is about 35 minutes away, so not that convenient.

It's the one place I can get whole chuck short ribs. The new one here in Fresno hasn't gotten a seafood counter in yet and hoping they'll start stocking some decent lump.LBGE - I like the hot stuff. The big dry San Joaquin Valley, Clovis, CA

GTFO.... AWESOME!
Now, I just need info on what I need to have to get a membership. -

It's a day pass that you can use over and over. I just walk in to the service desk show my KCBS card and get my day pass each time I visit.LBGE - I like the hot stuff. The big dry San Joaquin Valley, Clovis, CA

@stompbox - Yes, a day pass each time you visit. You don't get a full fledged membership which gives you an online account. But you can shop there as often as you like. In fact, when I visited, they gave me a bar-coded membership card I just scan when I get there and when I check out.

The ones that have fish markets also seem very clean and there is no fishy odor. They pack the fish in plastic bags and add a separate bag of ice so it stays very cold. During summer months they have a freezer full of small gel ice packs that you can take (free) for your car cooler.
I consider it a great place to shop.

Love the RD fish market. I've been scoring 21-25 count fresh shrimp for $7and change per lb. Fresh, really good, thick cod filets under $7 lb. Twin packs of pork butt $1.39. Agree on the comment that everything is very fresh probably due to high turnover of inventory. Take a jacket or borrow one of theirs to shop in the cooler that's really a warehouse. Check out their discounted meat items, all cryovac'd and still within safe date but usually half price.Richmond and Mathews County, VA. Large BGE, Weber gas, little Weber charcoal. Vintage ManGrates. Little reddish portable kamado that shall remain nameless here. Very Extremely Stable Genius.

@Shiff Thanks for the heads up. I drive by that way a lot on the way to the airport and never noticed the RD. I just applied for my KCBS membership so I can check RD out. Looks like the meat selection/price is great.

I have a lot of meat in stock, so I am waiting to check this place out but I am excited. I figure I have enough meat to last me to march on hand though.

If anyone goes, report back.

If so, I'm in.
