The Fresh Grocer closed its New Brunswick, NJ store on May 24 after less than two years in operation. The store, located in a downtown "food desert," was not able to generate enough business, according to owner Pat Burns.
The company, which became part of the Wakefern cooperative last year, operates six other locations in Pennsylvania and Delaware.
The New Brunswick Parking Authority owns the property in which The Fresh Grocer operated and is looking for replacement tenants for the 50,000 square foot space.

Fresh Grocer to join Wakefern, rebrand Drexel Hill store as ShopRite
The Fresh Grocer, an independent grocery chain with eight stores (six in PA), announced yesterday that it was joining the Wakefern cooperative and that it's Drexel Hill, PA store would switch to the ShopRite banner. The seven other stores plan to retain the Fresh Grocer name.
The Fresh Grocer, currently owned by Pat Burns and supplied by Supervalu, will become Wakefern's 50th member when it transitions to the cooperative in October.
