The newest addition to the Collegeville Shopping Center, Pep Boys, is preparing to open – boxes are being unloaded through the windows, and staff members can be seen scurrying throughout the store. Patch reported in October that Pep Boys would be filling the vacancy left by Annie Sez in the shopping center, on Main Street and Rt. 29.
