A grocery store in Brookfield that has been undergoing renovations for months has set a date for its grand reopening.
ShopRite at 143 Federal Road will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its newly renovated store on Monday, Dec. 9. The store’s hours are 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The store features a “refreshed look” along with new services including a modern bakery, expanded grab-and-go section and an upgraded floral department.
It also has energy-efficient refrigeration and freezer units, along with lighted shelves in the aisles to improve visibility.
ShopRite has been increasing its competition with rival grocery store chain Stop & Shop, which recently closed a store in neighboring Danbury.
“Over the past few years, we’ve seen significant changes in how our customers shop and what they’re looking for in their grocery store experience,” said Tom Cingari Sr., president and CEO of Stamford-based Cingari Family Markets, which owns the store. “Shoppers are increasingly seeking fresh, prepared meals and more sustainable choices.”
ShopRite of Brookfield is one of 10 ShopRite stores owned by Cingari, which also has locations in Danbury, Stamford, Southbury, Shelton, Norwalk, Fairfield, Derby and Bristol.
Another ShopRite store, in Waterbury, closed in November 2022 after its owner, Paul Tornaquindici, retired.
