Wakefern Food Corp. announced that its premier supermarket banners—including ShopRite, Price Rite Marketplace, The Fresh Grocer, Gourmet Garage and Fairway Market—will host walk-up job fairs on Jan. 31.
The hiring events will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. across hundreds of store locations in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
The job fairs are designed for maximum accessibility, requiring no advance registration. Candidates are encouraged to walk into participating stores to speak directly with hiring managers about a variety of available roles, including:
-
Entry-level: General clerks, front-end associates, and stocking staff.
-
Specialized: Perishable department and grocery team members.
-
Leadership: Full-time management positions for experienced retail professionals.
Wakefern is highlighting its “people-first” culture by offering modern tools to help new hires succeed. A standout feature of their employment package is access to a unique game-based learning platform. This mobile-friendly tool replaces hours of traditional classroom time with “micro-learning” bursts—short, 3- to 5-minute sessions that help associates build skills and earn rewards while on the clock.
Beyond competitive wages and flexible scheduling, Wakefern banner associates may be eligible for a wide range of perks designed to support long-term stability:
-
Education: Scholarship programs and tuition reimbursement.
-
Discounts: Savings on entertainment, telecommunications, and groceries.
-
Community: Opportunities to lead “Green Teams” or participate in hunger-relief initiatives like ShopRite Partners in Caring.
Interested applicants can simply visit the Customer Service counter at any participating store during the event hours. In the event of inclement weather, a “snow date” has been pre-scheduled for Feb. 7.
