Many Central NJ Shoprites, are owned by the Saker Family, which is not a
Jewish family. Additionally, the Shoprite in Tallman, Spring Valley, North Bergen, Fair Lawn, Passaic and others in that vicinity are owned by the Inserra Family, which does not seem to be a Jewish family. The Glass Garden Shoprites in Englewood, Paramus and Boro Park are owned by the Jewish Mr. Glass, who sells his chametz.
Additionally, any Shoprite with a “Kosher Experience” counter is not Jewish owned.
