A visit to the new Howell ShopRite

Those expecting to have the same products and services as the former Lakewood store had are in for a surprise. The new store is a totally different setup. Its not that there is no Kosher experience. The Lakewood store catered to the needs of the tzibbur and frum community carrying seasonal and daily products. The new store does not have an abundance of diapers, sodas and other items the community always purchased. The Kosher aisle is comparable to any other Stop n shop or Wal- mart. There is only a frozen case with kosher poultry, empire but no fresh chicken, yet. We were spoiled.
