ShopRite of Edison

Their produce selection is decently priced and fresh. The seafood though… I would definitely recommend going somewhere (anywhere) else. The guy who helped me yesterday at the seafood counter was friendly and very nice, but the seafood is NOT OKAY. I got home and opened the raw oysters I bought, and they were of a awful quality. Two of the six were completely empty… Nothing but sand and worms inside. The others were so gross my boyfriend actually ended up spitting one out, and were seasoned oyster eaters. I called the seafood department to tell them that the oysters had gone bad and no one answered (at 4pm). That was the breaking point for me. Some stuff is okay here. But anything that relies on being kept cold, I would avoid.

Ever since the ShopRite on Oak Tree Road closed over a decade and a half ago, I have been a steady patron of this store, as it is currently the only one in Edison proper. It is accessible directly from Route 1 South (you’ll see a sign before you need to exit) and Old Post Road, which forms a T-​intersection with the road that runs by Costco and Sam’s Club.
Take note that the Old Post Road entrance to the parking lot has some dangerously sharp angles to maneuver if you want to avoid the speed bumps. (I’ve only witnessed one collision so far, but in any case I prefer to take the straighter, slower route that runs by the Subway and now-​defunct Party City.)
As other reviewers have commented, the interior of this store is visibly antiquated – as evidenced by the worn floor tiles and not-​so-​occasional roof leaks during rainstorms. Due to its close proximity to the neighboring Edison High School, this ShopRite also sources many of its entry-​level employees from a readily available hiring pool of current and recently graduated high school students.
(A few years ago, police officers would stand guard by the checkout aisles at night [since the store is open until midnight]. I haven’t seen as many uniformed patrols recently, but I’m assuming that’s because the local juvies have found more interesting things to do with their time than to loiter inside a supermarket with their friends who work there.)
There is one main entrance/​exit and at least one side exit by the pharmacy. As with several other ShopRite stores, the floral, bakery, and produce sections are closest to the entrance, while the pharmacy is located in an annex on the opposite side of the store (by the frozen foods section). Fortunately, the two express checkout lanes are the ones closest to the exit.
The contactless payment readers are older models and hit-​or-​miss, so prepare another form of payment as backup if you plan on paying with an NFC-​enabled device.

I would rather drive to the Woodbridge Shoprite or go to Wegmans than shop here but unfortunately I do not always have the time. It’s not as clean as it could be. Many of the cashiers are high school students who do not have any idea of what customer service is. Put your cell phone down, greet the customer and smile. at least you have a job. Don’t get me wrong, there are also some good cashiers who are older and probably should be enjoying their retirement but at least they have a clue. The store is out dated and needs to close and move to a bigger location with a better selection of items.

I guess it’s just your regular neighborhood Shop Rite. Place is outdated and could use some freshening up but other than appearance place is great. Never had a problem when I couldn’t find what I was looking for. Conveniently located off Rt. 1

Would be 3.5 stars…
It has been years ever since I stopped at this location. I recently stopped here yesterday to get something that was on sale.
This IS a World Class ShopRite, but it’s smaller and older than the Woodbridge location. As I walked inside, it was clear that nothing has changed between the first time I was there and yesterday, which gave me the «retro» feeling.
As with any ShopRite, the sale prices were AWESOME. Customer service was A-​OK. The cheese selections here were impressive (as with any World-​Class location). I also didn’t have any major issues with parking, even though it’s smaller and located in a strip mall (Edison Mall).
Overall, this store has the «EDGE» over the Watchung location, but not over the Woodbridge location. But no matter what, if I’m ever in the area and need something that’s on sale, I’ll be back.
Cheers! :)

The place feels cramped as well as the parking lot. But it gets the job done and has very competitive prices as shop rite is. I putting two stars since I set the sommerville shoprite as the shining star of the shoprites Ive been to, but to be fair its also the most new that ive been too.

The produce selection here is very small, but they have a huge cheese selection and an even bigger prepared foods section. The prepared foods include basically everything– chinese, italian, bbq, sandwiches. This is part of a strip mall, and it’s been my experience people are not looking where they are driving– so be careful.

ShopRite has everything you need. Clean, and nice people! Second to Wegmans, it will keep your wallet happy! :)

Not one of my favorite Shop Rite’s but it’s not terrible. It’s small compared to the other ones I have seen on Route 18 or Route 130. It’s about the same size as the one in Piscataway so I guess I am kind of used to it not being enormous. It has the same set up as that one as well.
Nothing out of the ordinary that made it «gross,» but it wasn’t the cleanest one I have ever been to. I only stopped because it was on my way home and I needed some fruit. Most of my apples were not that great but that could be because I picked bad apples haha. Cashiers seem nice, the young guy I had was friendly.
If you can go to a bigger and better one, than I would. This is more of the quick stop shop for me.

Yikes. This place is very gross. The OJ isn’t even in a working refrigeration unit. Every aisle is way too tight. The layout of the store is ass backworks… This is WORLD CLASS Shoprite? Skip it.

This is a «World Class» ShopRite which means it has a ton of international food, mostly focused on Asian foods (Korean & Chinese). As such, their produce selection is large and varied and they have most items in regular and organic
As far as «American» grocery store fare they have the usual amount, but they don’t have some of the specialty items like Newman’s Own and other green brands.
Better than the average superstore.
