Brookdale ShopRite Launches “Fresh to Table” In-Store Experience

Brookdale ShopRite has announced the debut of Fresh to Table, an innovative store-within-a-store concept that delivers a reimagined shopping experience where customers can find fresh, on-trend foods, easy-to-prepare recipes and ingredients, and meal solutions in a variety of grab-and-go formats. Additionally, the Fresh to Table area offers new digital conveniences designed to help customers save time and money.

“The Brookdale ShopRite has been an important part of the community for generations, and we’re excited to introduce the Fresh to Table concept to our customers as part of our newly renovated store,” said Neil Greenstein, a third-generation grocer and owner of the Brookdale ShopRite. “Whether shoppers are looking for fresh-from-the-oven prepared meals, or already-prepped ingredients to make their meals come together quickly, we’re confident that the Fresh to Table section will meet the needs of our customers and delight them with an innovative and exciting new shopping experience.”

Designed within the store’s existing footprint, the approximately 1,400-square-foot Fresh to Table space reinvents the produce and fresh departments to provide inspired, high-quality options and ingredients for shoppers looking for a one-stop-shop meal experience. These include sections with ready-to-cook items (“Prep & Eat”), ready-to-heat and serve items (“Heat & Eat”), and ready-to-eat meals (“Grab & Eat”). The multi-purpose space will also feature new and innovative items from ShopRite’s private label products, including ShopRite’s award-winning Bowl & Basket and Wholesome Pantry lines.

Brookdale’s Fresh to Table store-within-a-store combines the best of ShopRite’s ready-made meal expertise with the latest in integrated technology such as online ordering via ShopRite’s Order Express app, which allows customers to order ahead of time for express pick-up, or for delivery via DoorDash. Shoppers can also access Fresh to Table options on the store’s ShopRite from Home online service.
