Job seekers looking for full-time, part-time, or management roles will have a streamlined path to employment later this month, as Wakefern Food Corp. supermarket banners prepare to host simultaneous walk-in hiring fairs.
On Sept. 26, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., participating store locations across New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island will open their doors for in-store recruitment events. Banners participating in the event include ShopRite, Price Rite Marketplace, The Fresh Grocer, Gourmet Garage, and Fairway Market.
No advance registration is necessary for candidates, who can simply walk into participating locations to speak directly with hiring teams. Open positions span a variety of store functions, including general clerks, front-end associates, and inventory or grocery department team members.
As the largest retailer-owned cooperative in the United States, Wakefern consists of family-owned supermarkets where members independently operate their stores. The cooperative emphasizes that many available roles feature competitive benefits, flexible scheduling, on-the-job training, and unique game-based learning platforms designed to foster career advancement.
Beyond standard professional development, eligible team members gain access to a robust support system and perks package, which includes:
- Tuition and entertainment discounts
- Scholarship opportunities
- Opportunities to engage in community initiatives, such as local hunger relief and sustainability efforts
Applicants interested in finding a participating store or exploring specific openings beforehand can visit the respective career portals for ShopRite, Price Rite Marketplace, The Fresh Grocer, Gourmet Garage, and Fairway Market.
