JERSEY CITY, NJ — A new ShopRite will open in Jersey City on Wednesday with giveaways and tastings all week, while a sister store that's closer to the Hoboken border will close.
The family-owned Inserra Supermarkets Inc. said Tuesday that they will hold a grand opening of the new 85,000-square-foot ShopRite of Hudson Exchange Place on Wednesday morning.
The new supermarket will be located on the second floor of Everton, a 60-story residential tower at 99 Provost St. in the Exchange Place neighborhood in Jersey City.
Tuesday was the last day for a nearby ShopRite in the Newport section of the city, at 400 Marin Drive near the Newport Mall, walkable from the Hoboken border.
That store closed at 6 p.m. Tuesday.
Ribbon-Cutting And Tastings
The new store will open at 7 a.m. on Wednesday with giveaways and a ceremonial ribbon-cutting at 9 a.m.
There will also be tasting stations from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. from Wednesday through Sunday, along with a Singing Mozzarella Chef on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 1 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 Inserra Jr., chairman and CEO of Inserra Supermarkets.
The supermarket will feature Patsy's Butcher Shop and Antoinette's Kitchen, which will offer freshly prepared meals, a hot bar, and soup bar. The store will also have a bake shop, produce department, seafood department, and deli.
Customers will also have access to a registered dietitian and nutrition counseling services.
The store 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 store will be open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. each day.
