ShopRite (or its full name ShopRite Supermarkets or simply Shop Rite) is a co-op chain of supermarkets in the Northeastern United States, in the states of New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. Based in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Shop Rite consists of 43 individually owned and operated affilates with over 190 stores, all under its corporate and and distrbution arm, Wakefern Food Corporation.
In recent years ShopRite has renovated, expanded or totally rebuilt many of its older stores, as well as new ones. Most stores are larger than before with improved facilities. Some of the older ShopRite stores date back to the 1950s and 1960s. Examples of a newly built giant ShopRite can be found in Wharton, New Jersey, opened in 2001, and a rebuilt one in nearby Succasunna.
