In our area we have two Shop-Rites... (just for example)...
One in Stirling, NJ & one in Bernardsville, NJ...
both about 5 miles from our house... one south & one north...
The one in Stirling is nothing like the one in Bernardsville...
The one in Bernardsville is newer and much nicer... more like a showroom store...
the one in Stirling is just OK...
They both have the same foods, same sales, but the B'ville one is still a much nicer shopping experience...
just cleaner & more organized... It's an individual store thing...
