Wakefern supermarkets (ShopRite, Fresh Grocer and more) to host job fairs Jan. 18

It takes many different skills, abilities, and people to be a part of the team that operates a ShopRite store. Keasbey-based Wakefern Food Corp. knows that. The grocer announced that its supermarket banners are hosting a hiring fair Jan. 18 for candidates seeking career opportunities and valuable experience in retail.

The walk-up job fairs are taking place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at store locations throughout New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware and Maryland.

Interested candidates can visit most participating ShopRite, Price Rite Marketplace, The Fresh Grocer, Gourmet Garage or Fairway Market stores to speak with a hiring representative for an immediate interview.

Full-time, part-time and management positions are available, depending on location.

Available positions, including general, perishable, front end and stocking clerks, feature flexible hours and a wide variety of cross training to provide employees with the knowledge, skills and tools to work as a team throughout the store.

Training programs include a game-based training app that helps each associate succeed in the retail environment. The cooperative’s family-owned stores also provide team members opportunities for career growth and community engagement – with hunger-fighting and sustainability events taking place throughout the year.

Associates can also take advantage of entertainment and tuition discounts, and scholarship opportunities.

Interested candidates can find out more about the job fairs and career opportunities by checking with their local stores or online:
