As I drove up to the supermarket I realized I had passed it before and found it interesting. This is perhaps the smallest ShopRite I've been to in quite some time. It really looks like this was originally a small neighborhood market that has been renovated over the years. The most recent renovation looks very recent, probably in the last few years. The sign is very shiny and new, the exterior is super clean and the interior is bright with a lot of the new lighting that ShopRites everywhere have been installing. That said, the store is smaller than say Garwood or Linden so expect smaller aisles and tighter turns as you navigate your cart through the store. Item selection was unexpectedly good. I find as a chain of supermarkets ShopRite locations vary in their stock. I figured with such a relatively small space they would have to limit their stock to the only a handful of brands but the selection was nice. For instance, they had about five or six different brands of peanut butter and a good selection of items in their Asian sauce section. The produce also looked nice and fresh. On top of all that I was impressed by their selection of items like Beyond Meat and Impossible Burgers. I did not really interact with the staff other than checking out. No one was particularly friendly but they weren't *unfriendly* either, just very neutral. This was not the best ShopRite ever, but I enjoyed the visit and it's good to know if I'm in the area I can pick something up here.

Still a convenient stop if you're in the area, but something as simple as Sun Chips (for example) not being available just makes no sense to me.

Tons of fresh produce and meats at affordable prices is the main goal. Non perishables are also in abundance at slightly elevated prices.

The parking lot offered plenty of parking even on Saturday afternoon right before a major holiday.

It was pretty empty and I got a carriage full of food quickly. First compliant -- Young guy working in the store, pushing a cart around, almost hit me. He didn't say excuse me ... No, I did. I apologized to myself on his behalf. LOL! Second complaint -- Nasty cashier. There was NO ONE at Cashier #3, so I approached. The woman let out a sigh. I said, "Oh, you're busy" (she wasn't) and I went to go somewhere else. She insisted I go there, yet the tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. THEN the lady behind me, the cashier was very pleasant too. I think that qualifies as being rude and judging someone without knowing them? I think so. WEIRDO. Third complaint -- The green onions were rancid! The color did look off, and I tasted them -- disgusting! I can't stand this store. It's a waste of a beautiful store because the workers here are obviously incompetent. They can't get rid of groceries that are bad. No one here likes to work. This is the worst Whole Foods in the state of New Jersey. Gross!

Many months later, I came back and Green Way Markets had taken its place after a significant renovation! Using a modern design sensibility, this market uses a lot of black, silver and white colors with bright lighting to create a look that is both utilitarian and welcoming at the same time. The market looks and feels clean and organized, with good sized aisles. This isn't a Costco or Shop Rite, so you can't go barreling down the aisles with a cart, but I never felt crowded in. Green Way Markets carries some items I would definitely consider a bit more upscale including some of their yogurt selections and items in the meat section (I recall seeing both duck breast and caviar). They also carry items that not all smaller markets carry like plant based meat products. There is also a prepared food counter that also has baked goods like cakes. I suspect most folks would probably use larger markets for their "main" food shopping but this is a fun place to check out some brands you normally don't see and maybe pick up some specialty items. I recommend checking it out. After all, it's always great to have options!
