The new River Road store is replacing a smaller ShopRite a mile away at 814 River Road, NorthJersey.com reported. The new location will employ 250 people, according to the report.
The new store is part of the Waterworks development being built by New Milford Redevelopment Associates LLC. It is expected to 'exacerbate' area traffic, Mayor Michael Putrino told NorthJersey.com.
