About us
A Mission That Makes Us Proud: From a small, local cooperative that began with eight grocery store owners, Wakefern Food Corp. has grown into the largest retailer-owned cooperative in the United States. Founded in 1946, the cooperative includes nearly 50 member families who today independently own and operate hundreds of supermarkets under the ShopRite, Price Rite Marketplace, The Fresh Grocer, Dearborn Market, Gourmet Garage, and Fairway Market banners in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. Unique Own Brand Offerings: Our award-winning private label lines Wholesome Pantry, Bowl & Basket, and Paperbird combine innovation with premium products to give consumers high-quality food options at prices they’ve come to expect at our stores while delivering an unmatched shopping experience. Where Being a Good Neighbor Comes First: At Wakefern, we take pride in the places where we live and work and believe in the power of giving back to strengthen our communities. A Culture That Lifts Us All Up: Wakefern associates represent equal parts ambition and heart. Our support for our communities and business partners is only matched by our support for one another, in both our professional and personal lives. Together, We Make Wakefern Work.
