Price Rite Marketplace has announced plans for a new grocery store in Waterbury, Connecticut, that is set to open this fall.
The store will be located in the Waterbury Shopping Center at 881 Wolcott St., occupying a 34,000-square-foot space that was formerly home to Ollie’s Bargain Outlet. The supermarket is hiring and plans to bring about 50 jobs to the community.
Price Rite Marketplace offers fresh produce, high-quality meats, dairy products, baked goods, frozen foods and an array of national and private label grocery items.
“We’re excited to grow our team in Waterbury and offer employment opportunities to local residents,” said Kevin McDonnell, president of Price Rite Marketplace. “Our associates are the heart of our stores, and we’re looking forward to building a team that shares our commitment to delivering great value and friendly service.”
The store will feature a diverse selection of authentic foods and flavors that cater to the local community’s tastes and traditions. It also will offer a wide selection of everyday essentials and big-value club-size items.
The store will boast some of the industry’s leading green technologies, including energy-saving glass doors on dairy cases and energy-efficient lighting and refrigeration systems throughout the store.
