From a small, struggling cooperative with seven Members - all owners of their own grocery stores - ShopRite has grown into the largest retailer-owned cooperative in the United States and the largest employer in New Jersey. 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 over 200 ShopRite stores in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Delaware.
