Gallery: A Tour of the New Connecticut PriceRite

DANBURY, Conn. — The PriceRite division of Wakefern Food Corp., Keasbey, N.J., opened its 52nd store here on May 22, filling a void left upon the closing of an A&P Super Foodmart at this location more than a year ago. PriceRite spent $5.5 million to refurbish the 45,000-square-foot store, which is flanked by two senior housing complexes. The seniors living there, many without cars or rides, rely on having a nearby supermarket. PriceRite employs a self-service format that includes fresh produce delivered daily; packaged meats; baked goods; a variety of private label and national grocery brands; as well as dairy and frozen food products. It does not offer service departments. The discounter pledges to offer prices that are up to 50% below those of competitors. It accomplishes that through limited advertising and basic store décor, among other strategies. This gallery’s photographs were taken at the grand opening.
