A large grocery property along the Hudson River that has been shuttered for months has sprung back to life as a new ShopRite with a slew of planned improvements and is now open for business.
The company recently celebrated the grand opening of its latest store, ShopRite of Edgewater Commons, at 481 River Road in Edgewater. The store opened at the site of a former ACME Markets after a year-long renovation.
“We are proud to open our doors to the Edgewater community while renovations continue, ensuring local shoppers continue to have access to a full-service supermarket,” said Lawrence R. Inserra Jr., chairman and CEO of Mahwah, N.J.-based Inserra Supermarkets in a statement. “We know this is just the beginning of an exciting transformation. Over the next two years, we will invest in the store to expand its offerings and create a shopping experience that meets the needs of the Edgewater community.”
The 64,000-square-foot supermarket will be making even more improvements in the coming months. Planned renovations as part of a larger two-year remodel will include Antoinette’s Kitchen, a section featuring freshly prepared meals.
The property will also receive a new hot bar and soup bar, expanded produce, dairy, frozen, and kosher departments, and new energy-efficient equipment. The supermarket will remain open daily from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. throughout the renovation.
ShopRite operates hundreds of stores throughout New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware, and Maryland, with its headquarters situated in Keasbey, N.J.
They operate several other markets in Hudson River cities, including locations in North Bergen and Hoboken, and a soon-to-launch outpost in Jersey City on the ground floor of Everton, a 60-story development.
