Massive New ShopRite Opening Soon in Manahawkin, NJ

ShopRite’s Grand Openings Are Getting A Lot More Exciting

Usually, something like the grand opening of a food store isn't something you'd really get excited about.

Like, yeah, it's a food store, and if it happens to be opening up closer to my house than the store I currently go to, then that's great, but that's about the level of excitement you typically see when a food store is opening a new location.

It's not like it's a new restaurant, or a new record shop, or a new entertainment facility; it's just a grocery store.

So, how did Shoprite change the game when it comes to grocery store grand openings?

Maybe it's because when the brand's newest location in Caldwell opened a few weeks ago, there was a full-blown festival in the grocery store's parking lot.
