While the store is clean, I’ve found better selection and sales prices elsewhere. Gotta feel bad for the poor cashiers, though, because the pay sucks, plus whatever the union takes out for themselves. That, on top of no hiring(only promoting to) full-time, plus some of the management are more concerned with stats and reports instead of their employees’ well-being, and it’s no wonder there’s dissension among the ranks. I’d rather go to Hillsborough ShopRite.

The store needs to know how to treat customers nicely, especially the store makes a mistake. It happened to me and my whole family twice in the late evenings. The same female front manager not only didn’t show any courtesy, but also treated us very rudely. Long story short: a male check out staff entered the wrong code of a 15 bottle case for the 12 bottle one. The front manager’s explanation was the price only for 12 separate bottles rather than a whole 12 bottle case? I said the receipt showed 15 bottle case. She said whatsoever no return and refund until the following day because the customer service is closed. This harsh attitude reminded my whole family the same bad experience not a while ago. By the way, the first time my wife had to make an extra trip to solve the problem. Luckily, this time another female manager kindly helped us to solve the problem-simply add three more bottles to the 12 bottle case in the SAME evening. Honestly, the store really should train and choose a capable person to be a leader. Otherwise, sooner or later the store will loss more customers and business. The store deserves more stars if they stop making customers upset and angry!

The store was clean and had wide variety of items. The prices are more expensive than at Walmart. Thus, I only shopped here once and didn’t come back. ShopRite has a loyalty program. It is easy and free to park. Our favorite stores around here are: Trader Joe’s for interesting and affordable organic foods, Target for nice-looking home’s goods, the Asian food market for the cheapest produce, frozen edamame, fresh fishes and meats, and Walmart. If you were to treat yourself to delicious breads, McCaffrey’s and Whole foods have the best breads around here.

Shoprite you are not my favorite store, but you’re 2.1 miles from my house so I’ll be back. This year I have stopped in many times for long lists and short lists of groceries and supplies. Several times I have gotten home and put my perishables away only to find them expired or a day a way from expiring. Really? How not to be considerate and helpful. In addition I’m seriously disappointed in the lack of care given to the gluten free area. I happened recently to be shopping for a side dish for my gluten free, celiac boyfriend. So I went over to the gluten free, freezer zone. I am pleased to say Skillman Shoprite has begun to carry more options here for gluten free folks, but when I noticed that one of the food bowls called«Amy’s» was NOT gluten free, I pointed it out to 3(THREE) employees. They informed me they’d move them in the morning. Good thing I caught that or it would have proved to be another wasted trip, disappointed boyfriend, etc! Although I was stinking furious they didn’t immediately move the mis stocked items over to the organic freezer right next to the gluten free one, I felt satisfiedp that at least three people knew about the problem. Well just three weeks later I stopped over once again to get my favorite frozen, gluten free bread and wouldn’t you know they NEVER moved the Amy’s bowls over. So I did it myself. I have also routinely found rancid or spoiled meat in the meat department. I have gotten in the habit of leaving packages on the meat counter — but they probably just put them right back. I have noticed for over 10 years the lack of consistency with the stocking of many items. For example, there are certain products that are rarely or never on the shelves at this Shoprite but I find them in other Shoprites and certainly other stores. Some of the long standing managers are very helpful and kind, which makes me feel better about continuing to shop here. However the only thing I know for sure is, you will spend more money than any other grocery store in the area.

This Shop-Rite is a nice clean place to shop, with a good wide selection of groceries and prepared foods — even a sushi counter and Chinese take-out counter. The only problem(for this store) is that they haven’t really kept up with other grocery stores in the area. Yes, they have a decent selection of organic produce for example, but their selection of health foods, and gluten free foods pales in comparison to Trader Joe’s or even Hillsborough ShopRite. Not just in terms of quantity/variety but also in terms of carrying the better brands. This may not be important to you, and i know that many people come here because it’s a large, clean store with good prices — and that’s a very good thing. But for people like myself who must shop gluten free and who like healthy organic foods(along with my bacon of course!) this store has fallen behind. I would however highly recommend the florist shop here, because they have excellent quality flowers at great prices, especially roses. On the other hand, unless you like donuts that taste like plastic with sugary icing, and weak coffee, steer clear of the Dunkin Donuts counter.(Really? You couldn’t have worked with Small World or Starbucks here?) I will likely continue to shop here because its convenient and for stocking up on staple items, it’s fine. But with even stores like Target carrying a great variety of grocery items now, ShopRite is getting a smaller & smaller share of my disposable income.

This is one of the worst food stores in the area. First the south enterence is poorly designed. People cannot even enter and exit the store at the same time. The management of the store is very poor. They treat all the shoppers as criminals. –All the shopping carts have had the lower deck removed so you can place bulk items down there. –If you do not place every item in a bag the checkout people will waste your time by placing stickers on every single item. Many of the check out people are rude, lazy or just plain clueless. I know it’s a low paying job but come on! This is what I have witness myself or been a victim of. –They refuse to help bag even after they have check out all the items you are buying. They just sit there and watch you finish. –Two different lettuces(same cost per pound) were in one plastic bag. The teller used their hand and grabbed the lettuce to remove it from the bag. –A customer paid with a great deal of change and the teller placed all the coins on the glass scanner to count them. Once on the glass he had trouble removing the coins. The whole process had several of us waiting over 8 minutes. The good side is they are close and have an ok selection. If I can spare time I go to the farmers market in Hillsborough and the Wegman’s in Bridgewater or Princeton.

My girlfriend and I decided to give this Shop Rite a chance. Its the same distance from our apt as the one in E Windsor, NJ. Its less crowded and the staff is very friendly.

Great place if your looking to pick up a nice quick lunch! Great variety! Unfortunately, I picked up a poopie tasting sandwich, but that’s my fault for thinking the combination would be good.

The grocery selection is good. The staff just make it an unpleasant experience to go to. I’ve shopped here a dozen times already and I just grit my teeth in preparation for being sneered at, snapped at and forced to bag my own groceries while the cashiers are checking out the next person — I don’t mind doing my own and I do — but if you get ahead of me, when you’re done and I’ve paid, help me finish and I’ll be on my way.

First, the good. This supermarket is great for produce. They have a fantastic selection, and everything seems quite fresh. There are quite a few local supermarkets locally, where the produce is so lacking, that you have to go to two or three before getting what you want, especially if what you want is somewhat out of the ordinary. I would say also, the bakery is very good, although on weekends, things sell out quickly. Good cheese selection too. Now the bad… this place is far too crowded, at almost all times. The cashiers are awfully slow, and they seem to slow down as the lines grow. Hours are also«interesting». I was in there once when they announced they would suddenly be closing in about 20 minutes(despite the posted hours!), and then started throwing people out about 5 minutes later. This was extremely off-putting. Basically you are going to waste time trying to get through the crowded aisles and waiting in lines. I guess what it comes down to is that the products they sell are good, but the experience of shopping there is not.

Given that this store is close and I have suffered through the local Stop and Shop, I started frequenting this place. This is a serious improvement over the other chain stores in the area. For one thing the produce is decent. There is a large selection and there is actually a helpful staff that is willing to go in the back and grab you something fresh when they are avaialble, they often are not available though, not unlike most chains. They have a good bakery and a fair selection of artisan items if you aren’t there at the wrong time. I suggest Thursday, Friday or Saturday, that seems like the best selection overall. Another plus is that they seem to consistently carry items and don’t change up your favorite item often so you can count on it. I even once in a while can stomach the sushi in the counter, it’s not near as bad as you would think :)

When I was growing up in Monty G, Shoprite was actually a cool place to hang out. You would constantly run in to peers, whether it be stocking the shelves, smoking out back, or being dragged along on a grocery trip with their parents. Until I grew up and moved away, I never thought there was anything special about Shoprite. Well let me tell you, it IS world class. So many markets I’ve visited since those days are grimy & offer poor selection. Montgomery’s Shope Rite is clean. The produce is always fresh and they have the most random extras you wouldn’t expect to find in a grocery store. The employees are competent and helpful. Their is a Bank of America(I think) located inside so you can multi task while shopping. Make sure you bring/sign up for your savings card!!!
