Welcome to the newest ShopRite! I'm a little late on posting this, as the store held its grand opening a week ago today. Regardless, let's tour this brand-new store, which opened on September 14 in Staten Island's Great Kills neighborhood.

First, some history. This store was constructed around 2000 as a Pathmark, in a small strip mall on the site of a former industrial complex. It's tucked away into a residential area, and isn't even visible from Amboy Road, the main thoroughfare in the area. In A&P's 2015 bankruptcy, Pathmark became Key Food, which switched to SuperFresh in 2017 under the same ownership. It shared ownership with Staten Island's other two SuperFresh stores, one of which closed before this one in a former Waldbaum's (and is set to become a Trader Joe's) and one of which is still open. The Key Food/SuperFresh owners didn't do anything at all to the Pathmark upon moving in, and when SuperFresh closed in 2022, it still had its Pathmark decor inside. After sitting vacant for a few years, the store underwent a complete, floor-to-ceiling remodel by the ShopRite owners and opened last weekend. It's now owned by Mannix Family Markets, which also owns the other three ShopRites on Staten Island. So the outside still kind of looks like a ca. 2000 Pathmark, but the inside is completely different...

You enter to the large grand aisle on the left side, with floral in an island at the front. Bakery, prepared foods, deli, and seafood line the left-side wall with sushi in the middle and produce opposite. Meat lines the back wall with dairy and frozen on the right side. No pharmacy here, although it looks like Pathmark and subsequently Key Food/SuperFresh did have a pharmacy.

Worth noting that, although absolutely everything is brand-new, the layout is very similar to what Pathmark would've had.

I believe the front corner, to the left in the above picture, was where Pathmark's pharmacy was. The store was very prepared for its grand opening, with heavy traffic in and out and immaculate displays in every department.

And it's a very attractive store. The decor is modern but with some personality, and it's colorful and bright and open.

Sushi and other prepared foods are on the left-side wall, although the vast majority are packaged for grab-and-go. There's a very small hot food bar next to the prepared foods cases on the left side wall.

Rows of cheese and other packaged deli items are in front of the service counter.

Although for a long time ShopRite didn't sell Boar's Head branded deli products, more stores are bringing them in now (although that seems to be mostly at the discretion of the store owners, since there's no overall program for it as far as I can tell).

Looking back up to the front of the grand aisle...

Seafood and meat line the back part of the grand aisle and continue down the back wall of the store. There's no service butcher counter here, but there is a window for special orders. The service seafood counter is at the back of the grand aisle.

You could barely tell that this isn't a brand-new store when you're inside. It certainly doesn't look anything like any of the previous tenants here.

The grocery aisles are pretty straightforward, and although the shelving looks somewhat similar to the previous shelving, it's new. I couldn't detect any remnants of Pathmark/Key Food/SuperFresh inside this new ShopRite.

Dairy and frozen foods on the right side of the store. As you can see above, it was quite crowded when I visited, and the empty frozen foods aisles were the exception, not the rule.

I'm really a big fan of this decor. It's pleasant and not intrusive but there's plenty of visual interest.

And a look down the last aisle with frozen and dairy...

One clear remnant from Pathmark: the layout. The bread alcove here in the front-right corner is a classic Pathmark setup.

Beer is then on the front wall between bread and the front-end.

And the front-end is pleasantly bright and open, with lots of self-checkouts and some staffed registers. Now, you may have heard about the new Instacart-backed Caper Carts that have been coming into several chains recently (inspired in part by Amazon's Dash Carts). While I'd seen them at various stores, I'd never actually tried one for myself. So I had to check it out at this location! The carts have a screen built in just like a self-checkout screen, and bar code scanners on the handle. So you scan your items on the scanner, then put them in the cart or bag directly (just like you might at self-checkout). Then the cart gives you a bar code to scan at self-checkout, and you pay via that pin pad. I bought about one grocery bag worth of groceries, and I have to say I enjoyed it -- with one big exception.

I attempted to buy two bialys (what the heck is a bialy?) from the self-serve bakery case, which sells them alongside bagels, rolls, donuts, muffins, and the like, which you pick yourself and put either in a bag or box. For items without bar codes, you search by name on the screen just like self checkout. Simple enough, right? I tried every variation on bialy, bagel, roll, bread, bakery... absolutely nothing came up. So I talked to a Caper Cart person, who was training customers on how to use them, and he was equally confused. Called over his supervisor, who also didn't have any clue but said they must've not put any of the bakery items into the system. So he said I could just add it at self checkout. When I attempted to do that, the self-checkout machine would only let me ring up one bialy at a time. Which is fine -- except for the fact that there were two together in a bag, and the scale in the bagging area knew it was heavier than one. I called over a self checkout attendant, who seemed utterly mystified that I wanted to do such a thing ("...you want to pay for that here?") but overrode the purchase nonetheless. I get that it's a new system, so of course there are kinks to work out, and everyone I talked to was friendly, but still the idea with a system like this is that it's smoother and easier than regular checkout. Have I sworn off Caper Carts for life? Definitely not, I'd love to try them again, maybe not on opening day at a new store though. Would I go out of my way to use them again? Also definitely not.

No matches. Thanks. Anyway, let's check out the store here before it became a ShopRite!

Original Grocery Tenant: Pathmark
Address: 150 Greaves Ln, Staten Island, NY  |  3501 Amboy Rd, Staten Island, NY

Opened: ca. 2000

Closed: November 2015

Later Tenants: Key Food (2015-2017) > SuperFresh (2017-2022) > ShopRite (2025- )

We're looking at the SuperFresh at 3501 Amboy Rd -- SuperFresh/Key Food called it 3501 Amboy; ShopRite calls it 100 or 150 Greaves Ln; Pathmark seemed to use both -- back in 2024. This was a little under two years after SuperFresh closed, but before ShopRite opened.

As you can see, ShopRite didn't do much to the outside at all, although they did remove the Pathmark stripe that's still hiding behind the SuperFresh sign in these pictures.

Pathmark relics aplenty around the SuperFresh, though. This isn't like many of the New Jersey SuperFresh stores that got extensive remodels before opening, but instead this store was basically restocked and the lights were turned back on, and that's about it.

As I mentioned, the outside is still nearly identical today, so this distinctly Pathmark awning remains.

Inside, SuperFresh had done nothing at all other than covering a handful of Pathmark logos with SuperFresh stickers. You can see Pathmark flooring and decor still abundant inside after the closure...

The grand aisle would've been on the left side, exactly where it is now.

That's all for this ShopRite, and I have more news to post but I haven't had the time to write it. So sadly it'll have to wait for next weekend. Back to Boston tomorrow!
