I CANT WAIT!!! Welcome WEIS!!!

For what it is worth, Weis is a very community orientated company. They also work very hard to make their buildings green and minimize their carbon footprint! Check out their web site.

However, at the end of the day, I like 99.9999999% of all other American consumers always shop where we find the best deals!

Weis is going to fail. It's a typical supermarket and everyone is going to continue to go to Shoprite. The area needs a Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. How much do you want to bet that Montgomery or Branchburg gets one and we get screwed once again?

Carbon footprint, green buildings, what BS! The only green that counts is money. Ask Al Jazeera Gore.

I have several neighbors and friends looking forward to their "Opening Day". Curt- you are right about their history and market place appeal. And they work hard to meet the marketing needs of the local customers. So folks be prepared to contact customer service with what yo EXPECT to see in this new store at Hillsborough. BTW- Shop Rite is the my last choice for shopping marketing in our area. And the 206 Farmer's Market is certainly not my perference either unless I am shopping for flowers. Next time you go there- take in a good sniff of the rank spoling food air. Or you may smell bleach. Either smell is a major turn off to me. Lisa D I wish we could get one of those specialty markets. That is not happening. So I send my hardiest W E L C O M E W E I S !!!!

Shoprite – I hate that place since they saw fit to move everything. That whole area by the butter seems like a fire trap to me, It can’t be legal, I do believe their aisle width there is below the minimum for safety and handicapped access.

Your poll needs another choice. "Yes". Your 2 yes choices have conditions. I'll shop at Weiss either way. I refuse to deal with the crowds at ShopRite(and the parking lot). Stop and Shop is just ok, hopefully Weiss is better than Stop andShop and attracts enough customers to not go out like Pathmark did. Is Shop Rtie really that much cheaper? I have to believe they're cheaper on some stuff and higher on others, I'm guessing a weeks grocery bill is pretty close at either Stop & Shop or Shop Rite

Heck Yes! Been driving the extra few minutes to the Shoprite in Somerville whenever I can lately. Much less claustrophobic shopping experience than the Hillsborough store.

ShopRite in Montgomery also a great choice. So different than out local ShopRite.

I CANNOT wait for Weis!!! ShopRite is disgusting! Fruit flies in the tomatoes, expired hotdogs and bacon, open cottage cheese, moldy strawberries, wet bananas (what is that?).

It's not a matter of choice, it's a matter of differentiation. If Weis can't distinguish itself from ShopRite, it will go the way of Pathmark. That's why something that is perceived to be completely different would have been a better choice. Whole Foods or Trader Joes are different, but they will not come to Hillsborough. Why? Let's take Trader Joes first. The Pathmark location is too big; the old Cost Cutters is a better size. But TJs looks for lots of traffic, on major roads like Rt. 22 and US1, and locations near other attractive shopping, like a mall. The same is true for Whole Foods. They are "destination" stores where people are willing to travel to them, like Wegmans. Yes, Bridgewater will likely get them eventually, but it helps to have major highways nearby. When will we in Hillsborough begin to understand that we are a small community that just will not attract the larger destination chains (yes, we have a Kohls, but it is hardly a destination chain)? Once we accept that, we can move forward in a more realistic manner. Stop dreaming.

I can't wait for Weis to open. I currently go to Wegmans and i would love to find a clean and well organized grocery store near by. Shop Rite fish and produce are not fresh. I hope Weiss market will make my trek to Wegmans a thing of the past.

When Parhmark closed, it seemed like Shop-Rite's prices went up. The produce is awful, the attitude of management is awful, the deli counter is not appealing & all of this is because Shop-Rite is, to a large extent, the only game in town. I now go to Wegman's, where the prices are better, the environment is appealing, the selections are of high quality and interest and the customer service is great.

I'll check out Weis, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

I agree about the set up and the feel of Shoprite. Always looks to dirty. I love to buy fruits and vegetables all year round and even drive the extra distance to by them at Wegmans. I hope this store is like that style or it will also go the way of Pathmark. Now Costco is where I will by alot of my fruits. It might be bulk but it is always the freshest and lasts a long time. WEISS you better be worth it!!!!

I'm hopeful that the occupation of the former Pathmark store will breathe a little bit of life back into some of the smaller businesses there. Not that Kohl's and Lowe's need any help, because they don't, but I'd like to see our smaller businesses in that strip mall stay and thrive. I think the addition of a Weis will help that come to fruition.

any news on when its actually opening?

to the people that say they dont buy their produce at SR, the farmers market across the street by the bank of ameirca is pretty inexpensive and well stocked

so is their any update on when they are opening??

I heard the end of July 2013. I wish it were sooner.
