ShopRite of Birney Plaza
Owner: Bill Bracey
I last visited Pennsylvania's Wyoming Valley in the summer of 2020, and the ShopRite of Moosic opened in December 2020. So unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the Moosic ShopRite after it opened, but we do have a picture of the store in progress right behind a former A&P and up the street from a Fresh Grocer that's also Wakefern-affiliated. Here's a look at what the 78,000 square foot store's exterior looks like now that it's open. I'm not sure about that ShopRite sign, shouldn't it be larger and lower? But the interior looks spectacular, designed by Off the Wall. You can see some impressive interior pictures of the store on their website (just swipe through the other locations until you get to Moosic).

Since the store looks so great, I hope to get back sometime to see it for myself. On Monday, we're headed into the city of Scranton for the first time, for a look at a Gerrity's in the southeastern part of the city. Enjoy your weekend!

The exterior of this store seems really dated, from the boring facade to the italicized "Pharmacy" signage. But the inside looks great.
ReplyDeleteAgreed -- I know the inside was done by Off the Wall, but maybe there was a different architectural firm responsible for the outside, which is why there's a disconnect in their appearances.
