ShopRite of Waterbury has been a beloved community staple for over 40 years, serving the Waterbury area with a wide selection of quality products and friendly, knowledgeable service. The store is part of the Wakefern Food Corp, a cooperative of fifty family-owned businesses that operate over 270 ShopRite stores across the Northeast. Customers have praised the store's fresh produce, high-quality meats, and competitive pricing compared to the competition. The store's personalized touch and welcoming atmosphere have also been highlighted, with staff going the extra mile to assist shoppers, even accommodating late-night visits. Unfortunately, the ShopRite of Waterbury is set to close its doors permanently on October 13, 2022, at 6:00 pm. In the weeks leading up to the closure, the store has been gradually clearing out its shelves, with remaining items being sold at discounted prices of up to 75% off. This sudden announcement has come as a shock to many loyal customers, who will miss the convenience and community-driven approach of this long-standing ShopRite location.
