Shoprite of Woodbridge

Sold 8 piece chicken at 4:30 today which was way too old. I was in a rush and didn’t realize it was in bad shape till I bit into it. It was no where near 141 degree which is what temp hot food being sold needs to be. It was luke warm at best. Stay far away from the hot food items here.

I go here when there are sales. Its a mad house at times and parking is a mess. They added a TJ Maxx and now parking is much tighter.
Next to Pet Smart, Shannon Rose, Vet hospital, laundry and a liquor store so you have other stores to go to.
The sales always change. High, low, expensive. Get what you need and go.
I like coming here at night, its quiet and peaceful

Prices could be better. Some items are reasonably priced. The meat and poultry prices are outrageously high. I sometimes go to Costo Nd BJs and buy in bulk and I really save money

I come to this shoprite at least 3 times per week, I spend an enormous amount of money here, I love this store. Normally I am very happy with everything, however this Saturday I purchased a watermelon for labor day, it was horrible, white inside. I would have returned it, but I through away the receipt.

I grew up with this ShopRite and it was nicer a long time ago. Every time I go while visiting family in Woodbridge, when I stop here, there’s a good selection of many things, but the entrance is the same after such a long time, and it’s miserable because on a packed day, this grocery store is packed! However, when you walk around, it’s fine, not many people, and you’ll really like shopping here. Overall, this ShopRite is pretty nice to shop at, but I would try my best to avoid it on a packed day. So, here’s my tip– if your driving on 1&9 or St. George’s Ave. and you see that the parking lot is packed, avoid shopping that day.

This is really a great and convenient store. Ample parking space in front and back also.
But weekend is always rush. Try going before 11 am or after 9 pm. This is really clean and have all the items you expect in a big store. Prices are also very competitive and I never look further as I know this is the best place. They always have fresh fruit. Bananas are always in individual packs so there is less chances for getting stale early. They carry Armold brick oven bread which I do not find in Wegman or elsewhere.
They buy pallets and put it right in the store with really cheap prices which is really a best point.
They should put few carts inside the store also as sometimes you go for one thing and if you want more things sometimes you are reluctant to go out for cart and store loses the sales. Self check out is the best thing they have which is quick and time saving.

I absolutely love love love this Shoprite! This is my favorite Shoprite out of all of the ones I’ve been to. They’re clean, spacious, and the employees are helpful. I’ve lived in Perth Amboy, Avenel, Hopelawn, and now Elizabeth, no matter what town I live in, this Shoprite is worth the extra drive. Oh and I love that they even have a Dunkin Donuts and a Chase bank in there!

This Shop rite will get three stars mainly because it has self serve registers and a hot all you can eat buffet!!! The parking lot is way too crowded…

this place is unorganized they put items in aisles that don’t make any sense and the employees are loud and obnoxious.

My second favorite supermarket in the area. This store seems easier to maneuver than the ShopRite in Clark. Yes, parking could be crazy because of the other popular stores on the shopping strip. However, I go during what I call «off peak «hours. Late night, early in the day and NEVER on the weekends. Once you get inside its organized and clean with everything you could ask for in a supermarket. Bakery, bank, Dunkin Donuts and a pharmacy. They actually also have large ethnic departments in the store as well. Asian, Caribbean. Spanish and I’m sure I’m forgetting some others. You could pick up spices rices etc from the region of your choice. Maybe that’s what they mean when they call it the World– Class ShopRite? Prices are comparable and sometimes less than other supermarkets in the area. It just depends on what you are looking for. All in all I enjoy coming to this ShopRite. But I must say that I’m eager to try the ShopRite from home program. That would definitely speed up my shopping experience.

I just want to say that their Floral department are amazing. I have purchased my arrangements from there plenty of times and have never been disappointed. they all take their time do the arrangements and do an amazing job.

Yeah, time to give my old review a revamp. The rating, however, stays the same.
Being the main anchor of the St. George’s Crossing Shopping Center, this store is easily accessible for anyone traveling on NJ-​35 in both directions, and US-​1 northbound. It’s a big, World-​Class grocery store. Aside from having the usual groceries and floral department, this store also has a Pharmacy department, a bank, and a Dunkin Donuts. Compared with the Edison World-​Class store, this store is more modernized, decorative, clean, and doesn’t give me the «retro» feeling.
«Keeping It World-​Classy» — They have a bakery department and call it «World Class». The various cupcakes and pastries that are produced here looked great. We bought a fresh cake here for someone’s birthday, and we all enjoyed it based on the appearance and taste! The deli area seemed to be more extensive than the Clark location. We bought some Black Bear chicken breast slices at a discount here. They also had a fine selection of cheeses, and a «buffet» area that consisted of various items that patrons could grab and go. Of course they also had some specialty international items that you couldn’t get at other ShopRite stores.
As with any Shop-​Rite, the prices here are really competitive. Sometimes when we’re in the area, we come here to grab some discounted groceries. We’re always pleased when they have exactly what we want. We never had any issues with rude employees, as they were always helpful and not in a bad mood. We’ve also never had an issue with messy, disorganized shelves either. All of that was good.
There were a few times when they didn’t have certain advertised items in stock, which was annoying (–1 star — not very World-​Class like, lol). Yes, parking is an issue, but it isn’t the store’s fault as so much as it’s those who own the strip mall (reviewed separately). Also, yes, this store does get crowded at times. But it doesn’t bother me since I’m never in a hurry whenever I’m here. Overall, a very good grocery store.

Just like many people mentioned, the parking lot is constantly crowded and there are no cart stations except at the very front of the store. But that’s not the supermarket’s fault, rather poor design planning by the builders. My biggest complaint with the actual supermarket is that I constantly find items that are expired and not a day or two, but weeks! That is unacceptable. It is the supermarket’s responsibility to make sure the food choices are not going to make their customers sick.
I wanted to purchase a key lime pie from the bakery department, I picked it up and at the checkout line happened to notice that the expiration date was a month ago. I told my cashier and asked them to dispose of it. He said not a problem. I returned several days later and was passing by the bakery department, so I decided to look, and to my shock they put it back!!! I picked it up and was going to bring it to customer service, but there was no one there, so instead I gave it to a worker in the bakery department. After that I barely come here anymore. Please be careful and check the expiration dates on all the perishable items you purchase.

This shop rite is convenient if you live in the area, because it’s also near some other highly visited stores like a petsmart and such. But I cannot stand parking here. The parking lot is far too small for this center and I end up driving around for 10 minutes just looking. The worst part is their shopping carts. They have very few cart stations in the lot to put back your cart, so people leave them in the spots. The other day I returned to my car to find 2 large scratches from carts being blown into my car from the wind. My car is BRAND NEW. I bought it less than a month ago. I know this is the customers fault for leaving the cart, but when you have to park a whole lot away because the parking lot is too small, there needs to be cart stations available for people. Needless to say I started to shop at wegmans down the street, and the reduced prices will keep me there.

Super close to where I live. Super clean. They get super crowded during the holidays. So get there early. They have this new rule that you can’t come back to the store to get your money back for a coupon that you left at home unless you come back on the SAME day that you purchased the item. They’re lucky I live close, otherwise they’d lose some stars for this. Often times I run out of the house to go shopping to get it over with and I do forget my coupons. So that’s not cool. Also, often times they have baggers (for fund raisers — such as high schools raising funds for their sports etc.) I actually can’t stand when they do this because I feel so bad that I can’t tip them because I never carry cash or change on me. Plus, I have OCD, so I’d rather just bag my own stuff anyway. But this shoprite is by far the best.

Pretty decent store. Very huge got everything I looked for. Good parking space. Store was clean and nice. Organized.

DON’T GO SUNDAY DURING THE DAY. Seriously, save yourself aggravation. Its like everyone’s grandma decides 2pm is the day to grab the Entenmann’s. So I rather go at night when they’re all tucked in bed watching Antiques Roadshow. I do like this location better than the Shoprite in Clark since they have way better selection of items in the bakery and deli section
But again, avoid weekends during peak afternoon hours.

Cleanest shoprite I’ve ever been to the food here is always fresh and the employees are really friendly.

I usually come here at night to avoid crowds. Originally decided to give it 3 stars based upon some of the night crew having an idc attitude and shelves being empty, but hey its late at night and i can understand it all. So ill let it slide, THIS TIME!!!
But yea. I still get confused at the entrance because it seems like you gotta go alll the way around just to get to the ice cream and chips. The first thing u see are cashiers and a sign that says other way. But hey its cool i like to go to that dunkin donuts on the side anyway.
Not trashy at all and its seems like a nice environment. Very different from linden. Not so much for the chase/​computer repair in there but its a good idea.
Nothing bad to report so far. Ill come again

Imagine a nice, neat Shop Rite supermarket. Clean aisles, a nice selection of produce, several departments aside from the usual meat, dairly etc. Then multiply it by about a factor of three and that’s what the Shoprite of Woodbridge is like. This thing is freaking huge. I’m used to going to the Shoprites in nearby Elizabeth or Linden, but this one seems to have the square footage of both of those combined! It really doesn’t, but it just feels that way.
When you enter Shoprite you don’t wind up smack in the middle of the produce section as with most supermarkets. Instead, you go past some impulse buy items, a small customer service desk and then the bakery section — all before getting to the produce. Man oh man how smart. If you’re hungry and shopping, the multitude of breads (from rye to whole wheat to corn bread and more) will be instant buys. The produce section is huge, with a lot of choices and some veggies I’ve never seen in any other market outside of green markets in NYC.
I think I spent a good forty minutes between my shopping and just rolling up and down aisles. I was very impressed by their prepared food section which consisted of a sushi stand, asian fare, a salad bar, antipasto, precooked meats and more! The meat section even has sandwiches ranging from cold cuts to pulled pork ready to go. As I wandered some more, I was surprised to see (of all things) a *cigar store* in the middle of the supermarket, complete with glasses for liquor and magazines about cigars.
I confess everything wasn’t easy to find at first because I’m so used to the layout of other markets, but eventually I got into the groove, noting that the aisles were referred to as «avenues» here with big signs acting as «street signs» at the end of each aisle. The groceries all seemed freshly stocked, with nothing I saw looking old or as if it had been sitting there for ages.
Check out looked like it was going to be a nightmare. There are tons of cashiers, and every single one had at least 3 – 5 people on it with carts full of food — yet somehow I waited all of about ten minutes or so on my line before I was taken care of quickly and by a friendly cashier to boot.
It’s worth noting that this Shoprite is in the same shopping center as a few other businesses including a storage facility, a restaurant, a Chase Bank, PC Richards and even a Petsmart (which I have previously reviewed here on Unilocal). You can get a LOT done in this center, and part of that is due to this, one of the best Shoprites I’ve ever had the pleasure of shopping in.
