Tastings, Giveaways Planned All Weekend For ShopRite Opening In Bergen County

EDGEWATER, NJ — The new ShopRite in Edgewater Commons will open this Saturday with giveaways, tastings, and promotions.

The supermarket replaces an Acme on River Road that closed last month.

Inserra Supermarkets, the family-operated company that owns many ShopRites, will host the grand opening.

The store will open Saturday at 7 a.m. with a ribbon-cutting featuring local officials.

The tastings and giveaways will run from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days.

The 64,000-square-foot supermarket will feature Patsy's Butcher Shop, Fresh Bakery Shop, a Produce Department, Seafood Department, Sushi Bar, a full-service Deli Department, and the Fresh to Table section with grab-and-go food. The shop has been undergoing extensive renovations.
