A grocery store that has long planned a move to new digs is officially open in a new, state-of-the-art space as ShopRite of Hudson Exchange opens in Jersey City.
Inserra Supermarkets hosted the grand opening of their 85,000-square-foot supermarket that offers a fresh, modern shopping experience. Located on the second floor of Everton, a new 60-story residential tower at 99 Provost Street, the store replaces the ShopRite of Metro Plaza across the street.
The new store is 20,000 square feet larger than the former location and includes a liquor store. As part of the grand opening celebration, the store will host tasting stations from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. from October 14 through October 18, along with a Singing Mozzarella Chef on October 17 and 18 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
“We are so excited to welcome customers to our new home at 99 Provost St. and continue serving the Jersey City community in a beautiful, modern, and expanded space,” said Lawrence R. Inserra Jr., chairman and CEO of Inserra Supermarkets. “This new store reflects our ongoing commitment to providing an exceptional shopping experience to the residents of Jersey City, with an even greater selection of fresh foods, prepared meals and convenient services.”
ShopRite customers will have access to a registered dietitian and nutrition counseling services at the new location. The store also features ticketless parking through a mobile app, with parking available on two parking decks, four passenger elevators, three escalators, and two cart movers, as well as Caper Carts.
The new ShopRite of Hudson Exchange Place will be open from 7:00 AM – 11:00 PM daily. The supermarket is slated to add a new retail tenant in the coming months, as ModCup will open a roastery and new shop on the ground floor of Everton.
“The Everton project is years in the making,” added Abe Naparstek, principal of G&S Investors. “After completing the VYV project in 2020, G&S Investors, with our partners at BGRE, have been focused on the next phase of Hudson Exchange. This project delivers on our long-standing commitment that ShopRite, an essential amenity for downtown Jersey City, stays open for generations to come.”
G&S Investors and its partners have not yet indicated what could come next for the former ShopRite space, but the Hudson Exchange development envisions seven redeveloped parcels surrounded by a central green space, along with new roads.
