The transition is complete, although they're still not running a circular. New SuperFresh signage is up around the property... ...although, above, the two banners below the logo (Supermarket and Now Open!) are left over from the Save A Lot days. As we'll see, almost everything is. On the storefront itself, the Save A Lot logo has been covered but not yet replaced with anything, as a much smaller SuperFresh logo has been added to the left. Inside, the store looks very similar. All the fixtures and decor Save A Lot. Key Food brands are on the shelves now, and there's a much larger gr...

Save A Lot Opened: 2019 Owner:  unknown Previous Tenants:  ShopRite > Pathmark > Hillside IGA > Drug Fair > Walgreens Later Tenants:  SuperFresh (May 2025- ) Cooperative:  none Location:  1303 N Broad St, Hillside, NJ Photographed:  March 1, 2024 and May 27, 2025 Welcome to the Hillside Save A Lot!

I knew it was there, but what threw me off is that the road that intersects with Morris Avenue is called Salem Road (in Union), but just about a quarter of a mile north it becomes Liberty Avenue at the Hillside border.
