Pay/half Discount Clothing Store Open in South Mall

A new men's and women's clothing store is open in South Mall in Salisbury Township.

A&E Stores' Pay/half, an "off-price" clothing store targeted to men, women and children, opened Thursday near The Bon-Ton entrance inside the mall.

The store is replacing the Strawberry store that closed on the other side of South Mall. It is 4,100 square feet larger.

The company's website says it has more than 50 locations in seven states, selling brand-name clothing and accessories at a fraction of department store prices.

On Wednesday, Pay/half workers were busy making last-minute touches, including hanging and placing merchandise.

Store manager Diane Martihun said the store will feature "off-price" clothing for men, women and children.

"We'll have both casual and dressy-type of clothing," she said.

The Pay/half store in the South Mall is next to the Bon-Ton department store.
