New Supermarket For Hoboken: Sprove Market Will Replace Downtown Kings

HOBOKEN, NJ — Signage has appeared on River Street in Hoboken for a new supermarket to replace the dearly departed downtown Kings — and residents of mile-square Hoboken are so excited, they're even snapping photos.

The downtown Kings market closed in December 2020, while the uptown branch remains open.

Sprove Market already has a site at 70 Christopher Columbus Drive in Jersey City. Besides the usual groceries, they offer organic produce and coffee, sushi, a juice bar, a salad bar, and a hot and cold buffet.

They also sell liquor.

They proudly proclaim on their site, "We know that you want to spend your time with family and friends over good food and drinks. That’s why we opened Sprove Market Place in 2017. As a friendly, family-owned food joint in New Jersey, we’ll focus on the food and drinks at the table so you can go on in conversation and laughter ...

"You can also pick up your standard groceries or swing over to the corner for some beer, wine, and spirits."
