Stroudsburg, PA (Nov. 1, 2019) – ShopRite today opened its newest state-of-the-art, full-service supermarket  at the ShopRite of Stroudsburg in the Stroud Mall, 344 Stroud Mall Ave. The new supermarket is reinventing the grocery shopping experience with a centerpiece food hall, the Village Food Garden, and its own restaurant, Bin37, along with a wine and beer shop.
