A.B. Hobby Shop Moving Out of Old Rollier's Barn

The A.B. Charles Hobby Shop in Mt. Lebanon will be closing this weekend in preparation to its move to Peters Township, according to the Observer-Reporter.

The familiar barn store on McFarland Road, near the end of Banksville Road, will close at 6 p.m. Saturday.

The owner Scott Charles, of Upper St. Clair, told the newspaper that Peters is now the "Cranberry of the South Hills" and expects store traffic to improve with the new location on Route 19, in a space where Century Sports once existed.

A.B Charles has been in Mt. Lebanon since 2006. Before that, the shop was located on Route 19 in Dormont for 61 years.

Hours at the new store will be 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and, likely, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, according to the newspaper.
