The multi-purpose space will also feature new and innovative items from ShopRite’s Own Brand products, including ShopRite’s award-winning Bowl & Basket and Wholesome Pantry lines.  Fresh to Table also incorporates convenient digital components such as ShopRite Express to pre-order meals online.

Other highlights of the “Fresh to Table” shopping experience include the “Tasty & Trending” section featuring on-trend, seasonal foods with items that change frequently. Tasty and Trending meals and snacks are selected by ShopRite chefs and registered dietitians with the goal of inspiring customers to explore unique meal options that are procured from departments across the store including Meat, Seafood, Produce, Bakery and more. Distinctive signage and designated registers for easy checkout also provide an easy and intuitive experience for customers shopping Fresh to Table in-store.

In addition, the store will offer a large assortment of groceries and fresh produce along with all the hallmark store features and services ShopRite customers have come to expect. The new store will include a meat department with trained butchers; from-scratch fresh bake shop offering store made bread, cakes and pastries; seafood department with fresh deliveries daily; produce department with large selection of organic and locally grown fruits and vegetables, and a floral department. For customer convenience, the store will offer both traditional and self-checkout lanes as well as the online shopping service, ShopRite from Home.® ShopRite associates personally shop online grocery orders and customers pick up their groceries at the store or have their orders delivered right to their doorstep. This store will also accept Marist Money as a payment option for students attending nearby Marist College.

With an emphasis on reducing its eco-footprint, ShopRite of North Road & Winslow Gate Road will feature energy-efficient refrigeration and lighting, including glass doors on all dairy and freezer cases and LED lighting throughout the store and its parking lot.
