Simotas Dairy Bar sat near Gouglersville on the old Lancaster Pike. The owner was Nicolas Simotas, a Greek immigrant who began his dream of becoming an ice cream man by selling popsicles. He and his wife purchased the already established ice cream business in 1982. It was taken by eminent domain and razed as a result of the route 222 expansion project in 2001.
In 1984, a murdered body was dumped behind Simotas, which led to a cold case that took 20 years to finally crack –
There were two places Snokist across from the Yamaha motorcycle dealer and Simotas Dairy Bar that was about a mile up from there near Gouglarsville
