N.J. supermarket to shutter after 43 years of business
Grocery store chain Super Foodtown is planning to close one of its New Jersey spots after more than four decades of business.
The supermarket is in Ocean Township, located at 1560 Route 35.
Lou Scaduto Jr., president of Food Circus Super Markets, told the Asbury Park Press the store will close Aug. 12 after it was unable to come to terms for a new lease.
Nearby supermarkets include Wegmans, Target, Lidl, ShopRite and Stop & Shop. An Amazon Fresh is also opening soon along Route 35, in Eatontown.
Following the closure, the next-closest Super Foodtown stores will be in Sea Girt and Red Bank.
PharmacyTown, which is also housed inside the store, is planning to find its own space in Ocean’s Middlebrook Plaza, according to the Asbury Park Press.
Ocean Township’s Super Foodtown originally opened in 1979.
There are currently 11 Super Foodtown locations in the Garden State and 64 locations throughout New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.
