Price Rite

Price Rite, also known since 2017 as Price Rite Marketplace, is an American grocery store chain owned by Wakefern Food Corporation, which also owns ShopRite. As of 2022, there are over 60 Price Rite stores operating in the Northeast.
== History ==
In 1995, the first Price Rite grocery store opened in West Springfield, Massachusetts. Wakefern had previously used the name for their Price Rite Warehouse Clubs, warehouse clubs meant to compete with Price Club and BJ's Wholesale Club. The last Price Rite Warehouse Club closed in 1994. The new Price Rite was to compete with growing no-frills grocery store chains such as Aldi, Food Basics, and Save-A-Lot.
The Price Rite name has been used by Wakefern to improve under-performing ShopRite stores. Examples of this include the stores in York, Pennsylvania, Wethersfield, Connecticut, and Torrington, Connecticut (the latter store had been abandoned for almost 10 years before Price Rite moved in). 
In 2005, the first Price Rite outside of the Northeast opened in Azusa, California, in partnership with an independent supermarket in California, K.V. Mart Co. Another later opened in Hawaiian Gardens, outside Los Angeles. The stores closed in 2013.
In 2007, in Pembroke, Bermuda, the first Price Rite outside the United States opened. Another opened in Warwick in 2016. These stores bare more similarities to warehouse clubs than to traditional supermarkets, offering products in bulk. These stores do sell Price Rite-branded items, but also offer ShopRite and even Costco-branded products.
The original Price Rite stores, which opened in the late 90's and early 2000's, do not have departments found in most grocery stores, such as a bakery, a deli, and a seafood section. Products found in these departments are still offered by Price Rite, though; they are found pre-packaged in their respective aisles. In 2012, a Price Rite opened in Baltimore and contained a full-service seafood department. In 2015, the Manchester, New Hampshire Price Rite opened with a deli.
