ShopRite of Mount Pocono Owner: Bill Bracey Opened: ca. 2005 Previous Tenants:  Ames > Bill's ShurSave Cooperative:  Wakefern Food Corp. Location:  89 PA-940, Mount Pocono, PA Photographed:  January 15, 2021 Welcome to an extraordinarily foggy winter day at the Mount Pocono ShopRite! This 80,000 square foot store is one of three northeastern PA ShopRites owned by Bill's Supermarkets, the others being in Daleville and Moosic . The building was originally an Ames department store, and a Bill's ShurSave predated the ShopRite like the Daleville store. Bill's joined Wakefern after leaving ShurSave around 2005. We enter on the left side of the store to produce, with seafood, deli, and bakery at the back of the grand aisle. Meat lines the back wall with prepared foods and beer/wine in the front right corner. This store has a similar decor package to Daleville, but it's a bit on the older side. It looks like there's a combination of an older decor package and newer...

ShopRite of Daleville Owner: Bill Bracey Opened: ca. 2005 Previous Tenants:  Bill's ShurSave Cooperative:  Wakefern Food Corp. Location: 921 Drinker Tpk, Daleville, PA Photographed:  August 12, 2020 The small town of Daleville, PA has a massive ShopRite of roughly 75,000 square feet. The store moved at some point from across the mall , and around 2005, the store was switched from ShurSave to ShopRite when the owner left AWI and joined Wakefern. Here's a 2007 picture shortly after the conversion , where we can clearly see the remnants of the ShurSave name. It looks like the signage we see here has since been removed and replaced with new lettering . Here's a look at the grand aisle on the right side of the store. We have prepared foods, deli, and seafood on the right side, and produce on the left side of the grand aisle. Baked goods and meat are on the back wall, with dairy and pharmacy/HABA on the far left side. Frozen foods take up a large area, mostly in older-st...

Dutch's Market Owner: John Otway Opened:  1989 Cooperative:  ShurSave Location:  1564 PA-507, Greentown, PA Photographed:  December 18, 2019 Back to our snowy day in December of 2019 when I visited this store to photograph it! This ShurSave opened in 1989, although Dutch's Market has been in this area for at least 15 years more before that. I'm not sure if it was on this site or elsewhere. The store is just around 30,000 square feet, but it feels larger. The grand aisle has produce on one side, with deli/bakery on the left side wall. (Notice that the pictures above and below are looking towards the front wall of the store, not the back one.) Meats and dairy are on the back wall, with frozen foods in the last aisle. The store is on the older side, but it's in good shape. I appreciate the fact that the decor isn't all beige. One of the reasons this space feels so large is because the grand aisle has a lot of space between fixtures. The bakery is at the back of the gr...
