Wakefern/ShopRite has grown into the largest retailer-owned cooperative in the United States. The cooperative is comprised of 43 members who individually own and operate supermarkets under the ShopRite banner. Today, more than 50,000 people are employed by Wakefern Food Corporation, the merchandising and distribution arm of the company, and the 190 ShopRite stores in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Delaware.

All ShopRite owners are members of Wakefern Food Corporation, which buys, warehouses and transports products while providing other support services to ensure customer satisfaction. "Volume" buying enables ShopRite stores to offer their consumers the lowest overall prices, and the greatest value, in the marketplace.

Wakefern is headquartered in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and operates 2.5 million square feet of warehousing. Our transportation fleet, one of the largest private fleets on the east coast, consists of 400 tractors and 2000 trailers, and travels more than 23 million miles annually.
