ShopRite Opening: Burlington & Gloucester Twp Prizes, Giveaways & More

Gloucester Township, NJ – A new ShopRite opened its doors on December 7, 2025, at Cherrywood Plaza, replacing the nearby Laurel Hill location. The 85,000-square-foot supermarket features an array of amenities, including an indoor café, an Asian Wokery & Sushi Bar, and an international cheese department, according to Zallie Family Markets, the store’s operator.

The grand opening celebration included a DJ, face painters, caricature portraits, juggling stilt walkers, magicians, balloon art, and a visit from Santa Claus and his reindeer. Free samples from Zallie’s Fresh Kitchen were also available in the deli section.

The new ShopRite is located in the space formerly occupied by Kmart, which closed in 2017. Lynmar Builders, a Westville-based construction company, oversaw the building of the new store.
