KEASBEY, NJ - Price Rite Marketplace celebrated its incredible team of associates this Supermarket Employee Day – a day proclaimed by The Food Industry Association to recognize supermarket employees for their commitment to feeding families and enriching lives.

Team members from 46 Price Rite Marketplace stores were acknowledged Saturday for the essential role they each play in providing quality service to the communities Price Rite stores serve. Price Rite Marketplace employees were provided complimentary lunch, $25 gift cards and letters of thanks from the company’s leadership team. The leadership and support teams also visited store locations to thank each team member in person.

The recognition was a follow-up to the company’s annual meeting celebration in January, when Aaron Hunter, store manager of the Price Rite Marketplace of Hamden, Connecticut was named Price Rite Marketplace’s Store Manager of the Year. Hunter was awarded a trophy and gift certificate for driving sales growth, team member engagement, community involvement, training and development and support of his colleagues. At that same meeting, dozens of Price Rite store managers were also recognized for their achievements in 2024.

“Our team’s dedication to delivering exceptional service is the heart of our success. We are incredibly grateful for their hard work and commitment, both in our stores and throughout the communities we serve,” said Kevin McDonnell, president of Price Rite Marketplace, in a recent press release. “On Supermarket Employee Day, we proudly celebrate and thank every Price Rite Marketplace employee for their invaluable contributions.”

Price Rite Marketplace, a registered trademark of the New Jersey-based supermarket cooperative Wakefern Food Corp., offers associates many employee benefits year-round including entertainment and tuition discounts, scholarship opportunities and more.
