ShopRite

This is our go-​to big grocery store. They have the best prices on all the household staples like cleaning products, paper goods, basic dairy, and frozen items. Produce and meat are pretty good, at pretty good prices. We buy what is on sale, and in most categories, something is ALWAYS on sale because it’s such a big store. The store is usually tidy, clean, and well-​stocked.
The one thing I don’t like: when the shelf for a sale item is empty, they won’t hand over a rain check. The customer service clerk has to call the department… wait for them to answer… discuss the sold-​out item… the department has to check if there’s any in the stockroom… then if it IS in the stockroom, I have to wait 20 minutes till they bring it out.

Never again! After moving to Ridgefield this became my go-​to grocery store because it was close. I tried to like it, but just can’t find anything good to say about it. First off, when you get there, there’s shopping carts all over the parking lot and in all the «open» spaces you want to pull into. Then, if you wait until the front of the store to pick one up, rather than retrieving it from a cart return or random spot, you won’t get one because there aren’t any. The produce isn’t very good at all. Instead of crisp and fresh it’s soft and bruised. The whole store is set up in such a disorganized manner! I find myself running back and forth multiple times, even with a shopping list, because of the random placement and set-​up. Items are close to expiration. Some leak all over and nobody cleans it up. Cashiers are the worst! One didn’t talk to me the entire check-​out process, not an an acknowledgment to say hi or anything, because she was too busy carrying on a conversation with two other cashiers who were doing nothing. Then when I went to leave they didn’t even move out of my way… seems I was interrupting their important conversation! How rude and disrespectful. Then today, the cashier blew her nose all over before starting my order. She didn’t use any hand wipes or sanitizer or anything and began ringing up my order. Thanks for your snotty germs all over my food! I’ve just had too many bad experiences here to ever go back. If I have to drive 30 minutes away just to shop I’ll do it over going back here.

Pros:
1– Good location, near the playground, housing area and bus station.
2– Good variety just like a typical Shop-​rite
3– Lots of parking space
Cons:
1– Lots of expired product especially at the yogurt, milk and baby section
2– Poor customer service
3– Long line
4– Slow in re-​supplying

Avoid this place at all costs, unless you have all the time in the world and the patience of a saint.

On my visit this morning I had to wait nearly 5 minutes while Ana the cashier had a personal conversation with the customer who was ahead of me. This is certainly not professional or appropriate behavior. Ana didn’t even bother to apologize. I dread the rare occasion when I just need to purchase an item or two. I prefer to drive 15 min out of my way than go to this site that is less than five min away.

A few years ago, I actually used to shop here. It’s gone so downhill since then, I actually DESPISE stepping foot in here! Because of the location being so close to home, I have to go here at those times I forget an item that I need immediately — and every single time, its a terrible experience. Reasons why:
1. LONG LINES. LONG LONG LONG LINES. I can’t say this enough. The cashiers are slow & surly/​disgruntled. The majority of the store shoppers are older people now who take forever — which is fine, BUT OPEN MORE LANES! And if you find yourself in a line that has a problem/​price check/​coupon problem, forget it. It takes at least 5 minutes for a manager to come by.
2. Regular prices are considerably higher than other stores, like Target 99% of the time. Things like eggs are $ 3 – 4 — where at target its $ 1.99. Note: This is for when items are *not* on sale. When they are on sale, its comparable.
3. It’s not kept clean. The left side of the store smells weird. The products are often expired & covered in dust. Produce is dismal. I’ve also seen carts full of stuff to re-​stock on shelves with Perishables (meat, eggs, milk) just sitting at the front of the store. Not sure if or when it actually makes it back, but ick!
I only grocery shop in Edgewater now, trying to avoid this place at all costs. This place has forced me to become insanely organized when grocery shopping on the weekends so that I don’t have to come here to pick up the 1 item I forgot. NOT coming here is an incentive for me to remember all my items.

My viewpoint is mixed but mostly critical. I’ve been shopping at this store since it opened, and shopped at the store at its former location in Ridgefield. The strong suit of the store is the prices, which are generally very reasonable. Also most of the employees are courteous and helpful if asked.
Categories needing more constant maintenance or serious improvement include the checkout lanes, which often tend to be glacial (or slower) speed. The primary cause for this is too few open checkout lanes, and the store management is negligent when it comes to summoning more cashiers. You have to be very cautious selecting produce, the quality is sketchy at times. The parking lot is very poorly maintained and rarely does the litter patrol visit. The shopping carts are generally messy and badly maintained (mechanically). The store aisles are absolutely cluttered with cheap cardboard displays, which impede easy passage. The (tasteless) canned music is so loud that a normal conversation is sometimes difficult. When there is a PA announcement, if you’re in the wrong spot it’s almost painfully loud.
Why would I shop there? It’s the nearest supermarket to me. Better choice is the A&P in Ft. Lee which has higher prices but better everything else, and the Whole Foods in Edgewater which is my favorite supermarket albeit more expensive, owing to far better produce, very comprehensive choices in all categories, speedy checkout lanes, better parking. If I have the time, I skip the ShopRite.

Excellent ShopRite store!
I shop at Brookdale shoprite and when I bring my mom and grandma out shopping, the nearest one seemed to be by 495 Lincoln tunnel, which is a mess; plus that store is always crowded, especially around the holidays, so we thought we’d see what this one is like, which was actually about the same distance, but north…
The store is great, tables to wait at, a great sushi bar with a chef who made me a fantastic TNT roll, an awesome fish tank, great for those of us who wait for the matriarchs of the family to shop.
The store seems almost new, well lit and stocked. Another home run for ShopRite, the best deal in groceries in the tri state area.

NOPE. can’t do it anymore. This is BY FAR the WORST Shoprite I have ever shopped at. If it wasn’t the only one in my area I would have left a long time ago.
Ok.the prices are great and the shelves are always well stocked. no problem there. The produce department is gross but that’s typical for a Shoprite. The problem is the management is TERRIBLE. There are always long lines at check out and never enough cashiers. You will wait on a huge line to check out at 11 am on a Tuesday. It seems you have to be either a complete flake or moron to be a front end floor manager. There is no phone or light system for the cashiers to ask their managers for help. So, the cashiers yell across a loud front end for help. SOMETIMES the manager can actually hear them and comes to help.
Most recently, with their holiday promotion for a free turkey/​ham the management completely made up a rule that phone numbers cannot be given to cashier to look up your price plus card. I’ve gone to 3 other Shoprite locations and gave my phone number. sure enough my points were on the bottom of the receipt. I don’t understand why management would no longer want to extend that convenience to their customers. no one else has a problem with it.
I will drive the extra 10 minutes to Hackensack to avoid dealing with this Shoprite.

One of the worst Shop Rite stores. Seems to be lead by no management, they don’t seem to use any FIFO practices, first in first out so dates on perishables is often past expiration, especially dairy sections, cheeses, cottage cheeses. One of the reasons that’s a terrible way to operate is they front their shelves, meaning they pull items up to appear more full and often the items behind end up being different varieties, dates, or items altogether. (EX: you don’t see a particular flavor of yogurt you can move the 4 blueberry in front and sometimes find the single vanilla you seek) This is the same policy they follow throughout the store. I’m a Gatorade fan and if I want a particular flavor I always need to move the 10 fruit punch lined across the front and sometimes find the one I need pushed in a pile in the rear of shelving. Same goes for the front end, no rhyme or reason for magazine selections at all. Also bad experience with them last year when someone who must have either worked for them or friends with someone redeemed the turkey or ham promotion that I usually like to pick up and donate. They redeemed at a store 45 minutes away where I had never shopped nor would I living where I do and they refused to do anything or even have the manager contact me after numerous follow up emails to both store and corporate.
But they have all they need to survive
LOCATION and Pricing The days of enjoying or being comfortable and pleased with shopping are over here. At least until next year when I leave the area. They don’t miss my money I’m sure.

I hate this shop rite. It’s our go to grocery store because of the location. But honestly it’s starting to be about that time (to find a new grocery store).
I can’t argue the prices. They’re better than competitive. However, you do find yourself having that «you get what you pay for» conversation often. Here’s why: The produce is not fresh. The deli takes forever. The customer service isn’t worth mentioning. Plenty of parking outside but the store is often packed. The store looks and feels dingy. And lastly, don’t be surprised when you’re putting groceries away to find packaging that’s been tampered with.

Used to go to shoprite Livingston a lot. After moved to pal park, this shoprite has disappointed me every single time. Maybe because of the competition from the area, I can never find fresh produce at this location. The rest of the store is just ok. They are all factory packed products. How bad can it be?

I’m a fan of Shoprite because the prices are great and they often do not run out of sale items. I’ve been going to this shoprite for a few years and have noticed that it’s going downhill a bit. They are not always stocked with items, and I’ve noticed that they take the sale prices down before the sales are over so customers really need to the prices.
I’ll be going to another shoprite going forward, this one is just too annoying.

Went to shoprite today to help my mother food shop. I have been here many times throughout the years and it’s about time I write a review. This is my main go to food store. the location is great and close to my home. Big parking lot with plenty of spaces. This place is very clean and neat. They also have a cute little fishy tank inside with eels and big fishys! There is also a Dunkin donuts inside that always do a great job with my coffee order and make my bagel order perfectly! Next to the DD there is a mini DVD stand that has a decent selection to choose from. Don’t want to buy a DVD and only like to rent? No problem! There is a Redbox right outside! They also have good deals, for instance. this week they are having a cancan sale that gives you half price of majority of their canned goods! Today we were also lucky to have a nice girl named Jenna that quickly rang up our food and helped us bag everything correctly! Grant it we arnt that lucky every time but usually my mother and I leave here as happy customers!

This is a dirty store with C grade produce. Frequently out of day-​to-​day items. The Englewood and Paramus stores are far cleaner and more well-​stocked. Customers have been seen eating directly out of bakery trays (from tray to mouth) without staff interfering. In a word, PIG-​STY.

Customer service sucks
Went to change baby diaper size 2 to 3, got it as a gift/​PAID THNK YOU SHOP RITE sticker on the box, so I was assuming that diaper was from shop rite. This guy Mitch whatever he told me this is not shop rite sticker wtf then where I got that red shop rite sticker from babies r us? Ffffffff
So went to englewood location, walked out with size 3! Just wanted to go back and knock knock f/​u

It serves its purpose well – good variety of goods, helpful employees, large parking lot, has a redbox, great prices, and not generally crowded.
Only complaints are the checkers could be faster as they tend to be very nonchalant and vegetables plus fruits are not as fresh. The korean supermkts tend to have fresher produce.

Bright, large and well organized. Customer service is also great.
They make special displays for certain weekly sale items. Don’t panic if you don’t see the items in the aisles!

«You got me shook up, shook down, shook out on your loving…
If the ShopRite in palisades park were a woman, she’d be an around the way gurl 4-​sure.
Good looking, down to earth, smart, resourceful and well organized.
Shawtie would be the type of woman who’s man need not go to another cause she’d fulfill ALL his needs. What you need she got and if she don’t have it, trust me when I say you reall don’t need it.
While you stroll her isle’s you’ll notice that she’s fresh, clean, a little sassy, fully stocked and yes, Lord have mercy, Thick and Shapely. O’l gurl makes you feel wanted and right at home too. No chicken-​head trying to drain a brutha’s pockets, she’s thoughtful, email’s sale and specials info on the regular, cause she’s all about looking out for her mans coins.
If ShopRite in palpark were a woman she’d be a Sexy Mutha Fucka!
I’m not talking about the in need of attention, ass hanging all out, breast popping and straining to bust free and blind a nucka kinda sexy. No I’m talking bout REAL sexy. Confident and secure with who she is, not an ounce of pretense and comes real with hers nah-​mean!
Allow me to break this down.
She’d be a jump outta bed, quick shower, toss on some sweats n a hoodie, tie up ur hair or put a cap on and damn baybee! You got me and all the other kats in tha spot open.
Cause you make everything look good! Now that’s the kinda sexy I’m talkin about Mon.
«Got me shook up shook down shook out on ur lovin and ShopRite there’s just no way I’ll ever get over you.
Done

A good grocery store where you can find all those essentials.
As with any grocery store, they have a ton of stuff available for anything you’d need. It’s an enormous place, so the selection can be fantastic since they carry such a great variety of items.
The location is cool too since you have a lot of other establishments around the area (restaurants, stores) so it can a one-​stop-​shop destination where you can complete a ton of errands in one place.
