Save A Lot | Pennsville, NJ

235 S. Broadway

Welcome to the Pennsville Save A Lot!

One year and one day ago, we toured the Brookhaven Save A Lot. Today, we're at the Pennsville Save A Lot. This store opened at some point in the mid 90s in half of a former SuperFresh, which originally opened in the 70s as an A&P and relocated to a new center in 1990. The other half of the store was taken by PV Pets. This store was recently repainted to a gray color scheme, but, strangely, retains the former Save A Lot logo. Inside, it has the latest decor. Let's head in through the 70s vestibule (like North Wildwood) and look around!



Produce and special buys are in aisle 1 on the right side of the store. All of the signage is in English and Spanish.


Cuts and chops are in the back corner. I'm not sure if the cases are left over from SuperFresh, but if they aren't they must be from when Save A Lot first opened because they certainly don't look new.



Deli meats are in the left corner, with dairy and frozen foods in the last two aisles. Interesting to see the older logo still in use on the endcap in the first photo. I really don't know why this store doesn't have the new logo on the facade.


A much more elaborate thank you sign than Brookhaven had. One less checkout, though.


The pylon sign for Cranberry Plaza, where Save A Lot and Metro by T-Mobile are the only major brands. The Strikeforce Sports (which is no longer open) was originally an Ames.

Save A Lot and PV Pets were still united here.

Still using the old logo in this shot, which places the store as opening before 2004. I think it most likely opened soon after SuperFresh moved, in the mid to late 90s.

2.2 miles away: Acme of Pennsville


Last week, we saw Pennsville's other grocery store, the Acme further up Broadway. This store opened in 1998 in a former Kmart. As Save A Lot doesn't have any fresh/service departments, this is technically the only supermarket in town.

That's all for this tour! This was a pretty nice store, at least as Save A Lots go. Next week, we're headed across the river and further north to visit some more stores in Delaware! Thank you for reading, and I'll see you later! The Retail Connection: Like, a lot of retail.
