ShopRite opened its new supermarket Sept. 14 in Evergreen Plaza at 100 Greaves Lane in Staten Island, New York, with a ribbon cutting at 9 a.m.
Owned and operated by Mannix Family Markets, the new ShopRite of Evergreen Plaza marks the Mannix family’s fourth supermarket in the borough. The store team joined local leaders to cut the ribbon on the 62,000-square-foot, full-service supermarket, offering a variety of fresh groceries, chef-prepared foods, specialty and premium items and top quality store and national brands.
The new ShopRite will feature more than 40,000 products and offer nearly 3,000 sale items each week while also offering a wide gluten-free and organic selection. Store departments include a fresh bake shop featuring custom specialty cakes and made-from-scratch sweets and breads; floral shop with bouquets arranged daily; meat department staffed by experienced butchers offering restaurant quality cuts of meat at supermarket prices; seafood department with daily-catch deliveries and a produce department stocked with a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables and organic and locally grown produce.
ShopRite’s online shopping service, Order.Pickup.Deliver., also is available at the new location as well as ShopRite’s premium store brands – Bowl & Basket, Wholesome Pantry and Paperbird.
The convenient shopping format also incorporates the latest energy-saving and sustainable technologies in refrigeration and lighting, including LED lighting and environmentally friendly refrigerant systems.
“Our team looks forward to delivering the very best in quality, value and service to the Great Kills community with our newest ShopRite,” said Tim Mannix, a second-generation grocer and VP of Mannix Family Markets. “Staten Island has embraced us, and we are so proud to continue to invest in the borough and neighborhoods that mean so much to our family.”
In addition to the new store in Great Kills, Mannix Family Markets operates ShopRite stores in Graniteville, New Dorp and Charleston.
