    “You will definitely see the difference as soon as you go in there,” Sarada Bernstein, Shop Rite’s manager of branding and customer experience, told VIN News. “There’s lots of good stuff going on and so far the renovations have been very well received.”

    An additional 15,000 feet of shopping was added to the store during the $14 million renovation project which began last fall. While the official ribbon cutting took place at the beginning of June, final touches are still being put in place in the parking lot, offering additional spaces for shoppers.

    The store’s grocery selection will now include products by Yumtee’s Natural Snacks, Haddar Foods and Lieber’s and additional fixtures have been added to allow even more bakery items with products by Stern’s, Green’s, Beigel’s, Reisman’s, and Zomick’s.

    The dairy section will include 20 feet of kosher items including cholov yisroel milk, cheese, a full line of J&J products, 12 flavors of Gevina yogurt and a wide selection of Mehadrin yogurt, Greek yogurt and leben.

    The store will feature Empire chicken, Solomon’s meat and a full line of deli items including chumus, herring, smoked fish, pickles, kishka and Meal Mart and Abeles and Heyman cold cuts.

    Two separate freezer areas will be stocked with over six doors of kosher products including an assortment of regular and soft serve cholov yisroel ice cream, blintzes, frozen fish, ravioli, pizza, pizza bagels, fish sticks, French fries, chicken nuggets and more. A full end cap at the front of one of the freezers will be dedicated to Mehadrin novelties throughout the summer season.

    The store also plans to offer a larger number of sales on many kosher products.

    “We look forward to serving our kosher customers and we hope that customers will let us know if there are other products they would like us to carry,” said Kevin Oboyski Perishable Manager at ShopRite.

    Other improvements to the store include a Shop from Home department, newly constructed restrooms and an indoor bottle room.

    Monticello is by far the biggest kosher selection and better priced than walmart on many kosher items.

    The big chain stores look for opportunities to put the little man out of business , There are hardly any neighborhood stores left in the city .The feel of a close neighborhood with the corner candy store, tailor butcher, fish store have mostly disappeared Today we have mega chain stores all over

    Most of the items in the photo are JUNK FOOD with empty calories. Feed your little Velvel this stuff for the summer and he will come back as Chubby Velvel in August.

    Chassidim & most Chareidim won’t touch Empire products. Why don’t they carry a more widely-accepted hechscher, even a few, to give consumers some choice?

    They really do need more chassideshe hashgachos, although there are plenty already represented. As the cognoscenti already know, there are a small number of Litvish hashgachos that are beginning to demonstrate the same skills and expertise of the top of the line Chassideshe hashgachos and someday will be right up their in terms of the acceptability to those who are machmir in matter kashruth.

    When I leave for the mountains I usually go to Appetizing Plus on 18th Avenue to shop there and bring it to the country. It’s probably the cheapest store in Boro Park and about 30% cheaper than the mountains
