New Green Way Supermarket In Maplewood To Open With Block Party Saturday

MAPLEWOOD, NJ —The new Green Way Market in Maplewood, which replaces Kings Supermarket on Maplewood Avenue, will hold its grand opening Saturday followed by a Community Block Party.

The events will kick off with a ribbon cutting at 10 a.m. followed by a party at 11 a.m. with food and festivities for children.

This will be the fourth store to open in the tri-state area under the Green Way Markets banner.

A spokesperson said, "The supermarket will focus on delivering fresh, natural foods and organics, gluten-free products as well as traditional groceries. It will also feature Rancher’s Legend beef, a steakhouse quality beef at supermarket prices, along with wild-caught seafood."

The establishment will be owned and operated by Adam Shapiro, a lifelong grocer. He and his wife felt that the Maplewood location was a perfect setting to bring in a high-level supermarket focused on customer service with top quality offerings.

“We often dine in Maplewood and leapt at the opportunity to become a member of this special community," Shapiro said. "The town and its officials have been generous is their assistance to help us in this endeavor."

Located at 159 Maplewood Ave. the store has been completely renovated on the inside to heighten the shopping experience and improvements were made to the store’s exterior façade.

“When our fellow community members come to shop, we want them to feel like family and we will be greeting our customers as such,” expressed Shapiro.

The Block Party at 11 a.m. will feature food trucks serving free samples of Ranchers Legend Beef, Premio Sausages, and Nathan Hot Dogs, as well as other food.

There will also be festivities for children such as face painting and balloon art.
