ShopRite of Kingston

"Everything is way too expensive. ShopRite executives who slurp up giant bonuses and horde resources to overcharge their customers for so we can fund their lavish lifestyles could surely do better for us common folk."

"Always clean, good shopping experience. Staff is very helpful. Sometimes not enough check out lanes open but they recently expanded their self checkout area"

"We are in town visiting and did two food shopping trips exactly one week apart in two competing supermarkets down the street from each other. Now this is not perfect by any means and some of the items we purchased were different and would affect the final bill paid. But we instead kept a close tab on certain items that we tend to purchase often, or weekly if you will. Again this will not be perfect and is only our results. On the items that we purchase often, we found ShopRite to be quite a bit more expensive than their competitor on pretty much every item we paid attention to. It was also this way with the same two stores down where we lived, not far from Kingston. But this gave us the opportunity to check in exactly one week shop at the different stores. The final bills although not exactly the same total items, also reflected a much higher bill in ShopRite. I want to point out that only a few items were different. And we tried to take any difference into account on our price differential. Anyway, prices aside. This ShopRite seems fairly new and remodeled inside since the last time we were there. It did seem clean and the employees I spoke with seemed friendly. Why are so many of the same name stores laid out so totally different?(This is the same with all supermarkets) A little consistency goes a long way. We did have issues navigating the unfamiliar store to find the items that we were looking for. But familiarity is your friend when shopping and makes that much easier. So the regular folks probably zip right through. The deli section was crowded and forced to buy the prepackaged deli meat, which wasn't really what we wanted. I guess picking a quieter hour to shop might alleviate this. The parking area I found kind of tight and not the easiest to navigate. But again, may get easier when more familiar with that particular store. All in all, I found this ShopRite to be a nice store, with some nice features. Although I would have a hard time shopping there regularly knowing the prices on items we purchase are drastically higher than the store down the road. Now this may not be this way for you. But it was for us, as we have seen in the past at the same two stores near our home. I do want to point out that we no longer live in this area and do not normally shop at either of these stores now. This was all my idea to do this comparison based on our past experiences with the two named stores where we used to live."

"Everything under the sun... and then some! Clean and well-organized, with competitive prices. Wide selection of seasonal items and ethnic produce. Nutritionist on-site, as well as florist and pharmacy. Public bathroom in good shape, and ample parking in the mall’s lot in front. Free wi-fi!"

"ShopRite has recently did a nice refresh of their prepared foods and frozen sections. The store is clean and has most everything you’ll need for your food shopping needs. Great produce selections. If you are in the area ShopRite would be a good place to shop. Added bonus they have fully staffed checkouts."
