Shoprite Issues Statement Regarding Lakewood Store Closing
As we wrote yesterday, ShopRite of Lakewood is closing on April 21. There have been some community concerns about the shutdown, and Shoprite has responded with a statement.

Saker ShopRites is proud to have served its neighbors in the Lakewood community for more than 50 years. Although the store will be closing effective Tuesday, April 21, 2015, we hope you will visit us at nearby ShopRite locations in Bricktown, Toms River and Jackson, as well as the new, state-of-the-art, 80,000 square foot ShopRite of Howell, which is scheduled to open on Wednesday, April 22.
Where do those in Lakewood who depend on expanded Kosher food options go now? ShopRite recommended:
Customers looking for a full-service Kosher Experience department can visit any of our ShopRite locations in Marlboro, Neptune, East Windsor, Lawrenceville, Aberdeen, East Brunswick and Bound Brook.
Do you think it was a mistake to close the Lakewood ShopRite? The closest option for full-service Kosher is now Neptune, which is a hike. Will the new Howell ShopRite be too chaotic with two communities going to one store? Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
