South Jersey’s fifth Grocery Outlet location is coming to Gibbstown (Greenwich Twp), and they have announced the Opening Date is September 12th.
Update: Grocery Outlet Gibbstown NOW OPEN! Check out my “Opening Experience Post”
Grocery Outlet Bargain Market is a discount grocery store which balances a full one-stop shopping experience with discount prices via smart opportunistic buying. They find the best deals from product manufacturers and distribution companies, and pass those savings on to customers.
This new Grocery Outlet location at the Gibbstown Plaza location is the first for Gloucester County.
Located right off Route 295’s Exit 17, Grocery Outlet Gibbstown is a welcome addition to the Gibbstown/Paulsboro area. I also think communities from miles away along Route 295 will find the quick and easy access off/on the highway into the shopping center will make Grocery Outlet a regular shopping visit for many.
A Facebook event has been created which in just a few days already has over 500 responses. The full grand opening schedule hasn’t been set yet but they will include gift card giveaways, ribbon cutting and more. Updates will be posted there. (Facebook Event)
And as you expect they also have a Facebook page for this specific location where the two South Jersey owner/operators Anthony and Saalia, have posted several personal video update messages. (Facebook Page)
The space for the Gibbstown Grocery Outlet was made available after a ShopRite supermarket relocated to a new building in Woolwich. The Gibbstown Plaza ownership did a beautiful job remodeling the former supermarket space into three distinct units.
Situated at the main entrance to the shopping plaza, Grocery Outlet takes the premier end-unit.
A Dollar Tree is already open at the leftmost unit of the remodeled space. The third center unit has not been signed yet.
Grocery Outlet is on a rapid expansion through southern New Jersey and the Philadelphia area.
In the core 42Freeway area they recently opened a location in Sicklerville Gloucester Township on Cross Keys Road. Other locations are in Delran, Egg Harbor City, and Rio Grande.
A sixth South Jersey location is coming to Deptford, next to Forman Mills in the former AC Moore. Construction activity has already started there.
Another store has been approved for Vineland but I need to follow up on the status of that project. There are indications of a location coming to Cherry Hill also. Lastly I also know of another Gloucester County location that is in early stages of planning.
Grocery Outlet – Opportunistic Buyers
As mentioned a new Grocery Outlet is opening on September 12th at the Gibbstown Plaza. The total square footage for this space is almost 19,000 square feet, which is slightly larger than the Aldi store in Woodbury.
I have not been inside the new Gibbstown store, but absolutely from the outside the space looks very professional and attractive.
I have visited the Sicklerville location several times and found that Grocery Outlet is a beautiful store, and really does offer a full shopping experience including dairy, meats, and fresh produce.
They are also able to carry a large selection of healthy products including gluten free items
Over the last year or two I’ve had several conversations and meetings with the Sicklerville location owners Blake and Becky who are amazing people, fully representing the community aspect of Grocery Outlet, working with area charities as well as local suppliers.
I mentioned I had a chance to meet the new Gibbstown owners Anthony and Saalia briefly, and they seem just as wonderful… and equally committed to supporting the community and their customers.
Grocery Outlet considers themselves opportunistic buyers where they are able to make deals with distributors and manufacturers for name brand merchandise at deep discounts, which they pass on to consumers.
Merchandise selection and even pricing can vary each time you return but most operators make it a goal to cover all aspects of the shopping experience, the best prices.
Grocery Outlet also has a variety of discount promos including the front Power Wall which has special “get them while they last” deals which will likely be different every time you stop in.
Fresh produce and fruit is a key goal for Grocery Outlet as well as healthy eating options.
