LITITZ, Pa. (WHTM) — A local family recently opened the doors to its new clothing and apparel store that specializes in offering eco-friendly and eco-focused brands.

The new Earth to Lititz is owned and operated by Rebecca and Mark Branle who officially opened their new clothing and apparel store back on Tuesday, April 16.

According to Rebecca, she and her husband’s first business that they opened was called Intercourse Bikeworks, which they debuted back in 2016. Shortly after opening, they relocated the business to Lititz, Lancaster County, and renamed it Lititz Bikeworks.

Lititz Bikeworks offers a wide range of traditional and electric bicycles, in addition to having bike rentals as well.

After opening their bicycle business, Rebecca says that she and her husband’s dream was to open a new clothing store, but the mission for their future clothing store changed after their family went on a trip to Switzerland.
