Groundbreaking today for new ShopRite in Lawnside
A groundbreaking ceremony is set for 10 a.m. today to celebrate the pending arrival of a 56,000-square-foot ShopRite supermarket at the White Horse Pike plaza in Lawnside, along with about 200 jobs.
Lawnside Mayor Mary Ann Wardlow, local politicians and community leaders are expected to attend the ceremony at 130 White Horse Pike, the site of the former Pathmark supermarket, according to a report at 4-traders.com. The groundbreaking ceremony also was discussed briefly in the most recent Barrington Borough Council meeting.
The Lawnside ShopRite will be operated by Somerset Stores, LLC, which is owned by David and Renee Zallie, according to the report. The supermarket, expected to open this summer, will have:
- a fresh bake shop
- fresh meat cut to order
- fresh seafood delivered daily
- a variety of freshly prepared hot foods and delicacies, including a Mediterranean olive bar
- in-store café with free WiFi
- a catering department
- an on-site registered dietitian to assist customers in choosing healthy foods for their family
- a variety of natural and organic foods
- energy-saving and sustainable technologies in refrigeration and lighting
- the “ShopRite from Home” service, which allows customers to order food online and have it delivered or ready for pickup
“We are looking forward to serving Lawnside and its neighboring communities,” David Zallie told 4-traders.com. “This store will offer our customers a combination of ShopRite’s great prices, quality perishable departments, and exceptional customer service.”
