Welcome to the Delsea ShopRite!

It's been a month since we've been in South Jersey! The last time was back on July 12 when we visited the Marmora ShopRite and, in true New Jersey fashion, we'll be seeing another ShopRite today. The Delsea ShopRite is one of two in Vineland, the other being further down Landis Avenue. That store opened back in the late '70s, while this one opened in 2013. It replaced an older and much more hidden store about a half a mile northeast that opened in 1986. This store is owned by the Bottino family, who also own the Millville location. I just threw a lot of links at you; let's go inside now!

A few stores-within-a-store in the lobby here: Great Clips and RiteCare on the right side, and ShopRite Wines & Spirits on the left. The RiteCare clinic was also a feature of the previous Delsea ShopRite (which, by the way, is now a storage facility; it was unlikely to become another supermarket due to its hidden location).

Now we enter the actual supermarket, with the floral department to the right.

Mrs. B's Homemade Kitchen Secrets and The Wok at the ShopRite are across from floral, with cafe seating in the front corner. This store has the exact same layout as the Millville Bottino's ShopRite, though with much gaudier decor. It doesn't look too bad, but I'd say it was dated when it was installed in 2013.

The gourmet delicatessen is serving Boar's Head.

Across from the delicatessen is the produce market. I actually do quite enjoy the decor as it looks here.

The expansive bakery department affixes the corner of the grand aisle. This store seems to have more references to Bottino's than the Millville store does.

The store also has a nice seafood department, serving the catch of the day. I really like the  tiled flooring in this part of the store.

The cheese bar is in the back of the produce department. Millville also has this feature, but it's larger.

A butcher shop and various meat selections along the back wall. The 2000s ShopRite slogan "Always Fresh, Always for Less" is incorporated into this store. Another ShopRite slogan is on the front wall.

This picture isn't showing anything in particular, but I wanted to include it to show just how large the back actionway is. In many stores, it would be half the size of this. This store is quite large.

A look at the double-wide aisle 8. While this store and Millville share a lot of similarities, these aisle markers (other than the general layout) are the only thing that's exactly the same.

Dairy and frozen are in the last few aisles of the store, where windows let a lot of natural light in.

Another funky tile pattern and a "This is your neighborhood, this is your ShopRite" sign as we head towards the exit doors.

Customer service is in the front of the store.

Normally, in a ShopRite, the pharmacy would be along the front wall, but, due to the wine and spirits section in this store, it instead divides the produce section from the aisles.

While the inside of this store is quite nice, I'm not a huge fan of the look of the outside. I don't really love the stone used around the entrance.

0.4 miles away: Lidl of Vineland

Next week, we'll be taking a look at this store, which is located right next to the ShopRite and is visible from the parking lot, though you can't get from one store to the other without getting back on Landis Avenue. This store opened on November 16, 2017 as the Philadelphia area's first Lidl.

0.4 miles away: Walmart Supercenter of Vineland

This Walmart Supercenter is located directly across the street from ShopRite. It opened on January 20, 2009. This property originally held a Two Guys, which opened on June 15, 1966 and closed in December 1981, later becoming a Jamesway before closing in 1995. It was demolished in 2007 for the Walmart.

Thank you for reading this post! I quite enjoyed this store. While I think the decor is a little over-the-top in some places, it's still a really nice store and definitely one I would want to come back to and shop at again. Next week, we aren't going far - only next door to the Lidl! See you there! The Retail Connection: Check out happy.
