Shop Rite – Uniondale

Fourth star regained! After visiting this Shoprite a few times including today after I decreased their rating to three stars back in July 2015 as the cleanliness and organization had declined compared to previous experiences, I am happy to report that the store is very clean and well-​organized again, especially considering the high volume of business that it receives. While I usually go to the Plainview Shoprites as they are closer to where I live, I was in the area again today, so I stopped in. I first stopped at the large and bright produce department, where I picked up very nice bananas priced at an average $ 0.69/lb, large and very fresh honeydews priced at a fair $ 4.99, and many 8-​ounce bags of Fresh Express Shreds Shredded Lettuce, priced at $ 1.99/each. Next up, I made my ways to the grocery aisles, which I have found to be fairly wide for good traffic flow and well-​stocked as well. I went to the large frozen-​aisle, which also had an impressive gluten-​free selection, with Food for Life Gluten Free Bread, which was priced at $ 6.79, which is on the higher side but still less than most other area supermarkets, like Stop & Shop, Fairway, and Whole Foods. In addition, they also had Amy’s Rice Crust Frozen Pizza, which was sold at a reasonable $ 7.39, again undercutting Stop & Shop, Fairway, and Whole Foods on the same product. Finally, I picked up a quart of milk, which was priced at a low $ 1.59/quart. While I did not visit the deli and prepared food areas on this visit, I feel that the selection and quality are both very good and work well if you just feel like picking something up to eat. When it came time to check out, I found that the service was excellent as always and my cashier, who was a young female and whose name escapes me at the moment, was very friendly, polite, and efficient! I am happy that this Shoprite is better again and I will definitely stop in when I am in the area.

Great selection, decent prices, and an overall clean store. Staff members were very friendly too. They share a parking lot with Walmart which can get a little crazy, so watch out!

Disappointed again! Out of stock on multiple sale items (again). Advertising real deals with digital coupons but out of stock. If you get a rain check… digital coupon expires… so rain check item costs more than originally advertised.

I know its just a super market but this place was like no other supermarket I’ve been to in a loooong time !! Its clear to see they take pride in keeping it clean, fully stocked and a great variety of majority of thier products.
Its no fairway or stew Leonard’s but those are just a couple of the few of the Elite markets in my opinion. But for a regular super market i was very impressed!
Huge produce section with a large selection of fresh and healthy fruits and veggies, then the deli section was nicely showcased and once again spotless clean. On to the meats section once again very clean and all the packaged meats were very well organized and actually looked edible unlike some of those other markets I’ve been to in the past (usually buy my meat from costco, TJ’S or local butchers) but i will def try any cuts of meat from here.
Then there was the beautiful Bakery section, i know its just a market bakery but let me tell you ive tried a few things from shoprite bakeries in the past and they by far have the best bakers compared to the stop&shops, waldbaums and pathmarks and keyfoods. Once again very clean and organized !
Then there was the huge beer section with ALOT of different beers to choose from including Domestic, imported, micro breweries and tons of different Hard Ciders (im in heaven) !!
Last but not least they also have a great hot foods section for those days you didnt have time to make your own lunch at home or just dont feel like cooking dinner (i think we all have those moments sometimes) but you can always act like you made it lol .
Anyway i wish we had a shoprite like this in Staten Island, they’re actually building a new one by my area in staten island and i hope and pray its like this one (fingers crossed) !! Ok do yourself a favor and shop here if you’re near by or even if you have to drive a little while, totally worth it i promise!
Its a 5 star because most don’t keep their markets this nice and i think this staff deserves the 5^th star for doing such a great job !! Keep up the great work folks

Love Shoprite! I think they have a great trade off, great quality and value, with a great selection of food stuffs. Definitely cheaper than the other groceries I frequent. This location is pretty nice. Well stocked, and has that new, high end grocery remodel, with full bakery, deli, and awesome produce department. Taking a star off because some shelves were a mess, but this may just be after a holiday shopping weekend. Will see how things are next trip.

I have only shopped in two Shop Rite Stores and I must saw I absolutely love them. They have good sales and the everyday prices are not too bad either. So sorry your going out of Business Pathmark but I have found a new love. Yes the commercials are catchy but I really don’t purchase much food in cans. So the can can specials are not my thing. But if you live in New York and your on a budget try a Shop Rite store nearest to you! Great sales and fresh food.

My favorite supermarket in the area. Even if I’m not in the area I’ll wait until I can get over here. This location is fairly new and you get great quality here. They are for the most part always discounting a great majority of their items and I love that I can come and get deals. Another way to save more is by getting a Shop Rite discount card. It really makes a difference.
They also have a little section where you can buy cooked hot/​cold food. They have a pizza section and they sell a variety of slices, beef patties, etc. They also sell sushi that’s made in the store and can whip up any sandwiches like a cheesesteak or a turkey sandwich for example. Also, in the frozen seafood section they can steam whatever you order and add old bay seasoning if you prefer. It’s really convenient. The bakery is nice because they make a variety of cakes and cupcakes. I’ve ordered things from them on numerous occasions and they never disappoint.
I really do just love this supermarket. I’m in here at least 1−2x a week. Very nice, clean and convenient. Parking can be a tad annoying because it’s literally right next to Walmart but hey! – you can’t win them all lol

A wonderful supermarket. I get my doses of kombucha here every time. They have a great variety of produce and bakery. The bathrooms and aisles are kept clean and people are always friendly. Plenty of cashiers working for those who are impatient. They offer fresh foods from Italian, American, Sushi, and the Deli for your lunch or snack needs. Parking is usually not a problem. It’s also nice having Wal-​Mart next door, which I try to avoid. I really enjoy this supermarket.

While I tend to like Shoprite the best out of the conventional supermarket chains serving Long Island due to their reasonable prices and very good service, I have noticed this location is not quite as good as it used to be. This used to my favorite of the Shoprites that I have visited (including the two Shoprites in Plainview), I am afraid that after about four years since reopening, this store has declined a little bit in my opinion. Before this visit, I found that this Shoprite was clean and well-​maintained, even despite the very high volume of business it receives. Unfortunately, I found that this store has gotten a little dirtier and looks abused, as they are not quite keeping the store up like they used to. While I do not usually go to this Shoprite as it is a little further from my home and does not have Empire Kosher White Meat Ground Turkey like the Shoprites in Plainview, we were shopping in the Walmart next door due to a wide selection of shorts compared to the two Walmarts closer to my home and needed groceries, so we stopped here as we needed groceries. When we entered, we found the store to be crowded, which was not surprising, but it did not look as clean and well-​maintained, as the floors looked beaten up and a bit dirty and there were boxes strewn along the aisles, which made it harder to pass through the aisles in addition to the massive crowds. We did a large food shopping, purchasing bananas at a reasonable $ 0.69/lb, organic green grapes, some delicious mozzarella salad and olives from the Mediterranean bar, Fresh Express Shredded Lettuce at $ 1.99/bag, Food for Life Gluten Free Bread, and an Amy’s Frozen Gluten Free Pizza. The products were still good and the prices were still reasonable, which are among the reasons I usually like Shoprite. While the lines were long due to the crowds, all of the registers were open and Anthony, our cashier provided excellent service, as he was courteous, friendly, and moved very efficiently considering the massive crowds. Even though this Shoprite still has very good prices, excellent service, and good products, I see no reason to go out of my way here like I did in the past as the cleanliness is not as good as it used to be and the Plainview Shoprites are closer, so I will only return if I am already in the area and I am hoping this Shoprite will clean up a bit, so it could regain status as my favorite Shoprite.

LOVE THIS STORE. I don’t remember EVER being asked by an associate in any other store if I’m finding everything ok. Prices are great, selection is great and most important– store is clean. I have not run into any employee who was in any way disrespectful. I forgot a plant there once and the cashier ran out of the store to give it to me! Let’s see that happen at Stop & Shop or Waldbaums!!!

Awesome selection. Theirs things I can’t find anywhere else but here. Keep up the good work

They have so many Gardein products, so if you’re vegan, go to this place and walk down the frozen aisle for tons of options! Gardein burgers, sliders, chicken strips… go go go now!

OK… I hate to be the dissenting voice but I’ve been going there for 2 months so here goes.
PROS:
I like the prices.
They have a large number of cashiers open so it’s never a long wait.
The people are nice.
There’s a Wal Mart right next door.
CONS:
The parking lot is usually very full on the weekends so you need to park a bit away or drive for a while, not a big deal.
With the size of the store and the number of people there, it’s usually very difficult to maneuver and there are a lot of choke points too!
The prices are not shown on a large number of items in the meats and on the shelves so you can’t always find prices on items. And, as at other places, sometimes the prices and items don’t match up.
BUT MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT is the Deli counter! The prices on about 80% of the items are not posted anywhere so can’t tell what you’re paying for or even what’s available. On a busy weeked there are only 2 or 3 people working and they are carrying on conversations back there and working at about 33% speed. You have to immediately get a number when you walk in, go do ALL your shopping, and then come back to the deli and you’ll still have a 10 – 15 minute wait. Go elsewhere to buy your deli stuff…

This store, while competing with a Walmart literally next door, is very pleasant to shop in. There is a very large variety of fresh fruits and vegetables which is a huge plus. They also have a quasi-​food court where you can buy freshly made pizza, sushi, etc and pay for it at the register. Not the very cheapest prices, but not something to get rile up for. Would definitely recommend over Walmart.

No, I’m not running out of stuff to review… this place is effn awesome and everyone needs to know it.
I love to cook. So I need food to cook, in order to cook. Food can be expensive. I’d been shopping at Waldbaums in Long Beach for YEARS dealing with their stinky produce selection and seriously overpriced goods until Donk told me about this joint.
I can literally do the exact same shopping trip at ShopRite that I would do at Waldbaums — and without using the stack of coupons I always use — still save over 100 $. Its ridiculous. The produce section is huge — and while you may need to duck in and out of weirdos and hold your tongue when the creep in front of you mix and matches containers of strawberries until she finds all the berries she wants… its still worth it. They have fresh herbs, vegetables, fruits — all that stuff, including some hard to find items. Its clean, well maintained, well stocked — they always have a good deal and their circular is off the chain. Example: porterhouse steaks on sale for 5.99 a pound. Thick and thin cut (I dont know what kind of communist buys thin cut porterhouses, but have at it). We stocked up on those bad boys, took all the good ones… and now I can cook a steak like them mofos at Blackstones. You heard it here first.

Shop Rite is my go to store— and though there are many other super markets closer, I go to this store weekly– ever since it reopened two years ago.
They have sales on most every product and even though I am a big BJS shopper, I do better on some things here. I considered deducting a star because until just recently, I never had to ask for a rain check but I’m told its a trucking issue. I expect them to resume always having sale items stocked!
I’m conclusion, I am a fan of the circular with its loss leader coupons thpugh they are reducing the amount of them. I plan on remaining a loyal Shop Rite consumer.

SUPER clean and VERY friendly. The cashiers guide you to their register. The music played while shopping is UNREAL! 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, etc. I write the songs on my grocery list and go home and look it up on YouTUBE!!!

I went and got what I needed. The place was very clean and organized. The cashier was very nice.

I’m a regular customer, in there at least 3x a week. Had a bad experience with security following me around the store. I complained to the management in the store and calls to ShopRite customer care went unreturned for 4 weeks and counting. Not a customer friendly environment.

The husband likes coming here because prices are fabulous and it’s close to home. It’s very crowded but I have never had a reason to complain about long lines. Shelves are always stocked and it is ialways clean .But I come with him only when it’s necessary. What more can I say? i’m just a Fairway kind of gal.

I find myself returning to this supermarket more and more and less and less to Fairway, as much as I love that market. This place has ALMOST as good selection, always clean, well stocked and better prices. Have you tried the Red Velvet cookies or Muffins? Delicious! Now I Have to bring home muffins every time I go in here. Cinnamon Chip Muffins! Yumm-​O.

One of the best supermarkets I have ever shopped! Well stocked, reasonably priced and fresh produce. Like the fact that it is family owned! I’m hooked and I’m yours!

Much nicer than some of the ones I’ve been to. Parking isn’t a total nightmare though they are right next to a Wal-​Mart. Selection isn’t too bad, though I wish the peppers had been in better shape. This place is very clean and there’s a diversity of shoppers around here. A little crowded in store design but far less packed than the store in Plainview.

I LOVE SHOP RITE!!! I wish there was one in Queens, NY. They have such a great selection and even over samples. A girl loves samples especially when she goes to the store super hungry. I liked how clean they were.

This place is back in business after being shut down for the better part of the last decade, and I couldn’t be happier. I come here from BROOKLYN to do my shopping whenever I can! This is a one-​stop shop. They always have everything!
After a trip to the Stop and Shop in my area left me without about 10 COMMONPLACE items (Gerber Toddler Snacks, Honey, etc), I decided it was time to take a trip to my parents’ place in Uniondale so I could visit this Shop Rite. Not only did they have almost everything (they were out of chicken wings, but in their defense, it was during a basketball game, and I assume people needed to make their buffalo wings), but it was cheaper, there were no lines, and the employees were super-​polite and helpful!
They have a great selection of organic EVERYTHING, which I wouldn’t expect from a chain supermarket. There is a café, and a pizzeria (which I haven’t actually been to). Their bathrooms are clean and neat. There is plenty of parking, and you never have to look for a nice, clean shopping cart. There’s usually something on sale (I’m looking forward to a Can Can sale!).
Forget every other supermarket and come here!

This has to be the largest grocery store I have ever been in! The aisles are always filled, the employees are friendly and helpful and the store is very clean.
On a busy holiday weekend, the lines were not going all over the place as about 75% of the registers were manned with cashiers.
