Greetings followers of the Atlantic Pacific Railroad and my blog!
Today the APRR is announcing expanded delivery service to ShopRite Food Warehouse (Wakefern Food Corporation) with the acquisition of the adjacent warehouse in Rock Ridge Yard! Wakefern Food Corporation, parent company of ShopRite, has struck a deal with 1:87 Sir Neal to lease out the warehouse for a 30 year deal, with the option to renew or first right of refusal. Wakefern Food Corporation is an American company that was founded in 1946 and is based in Keasbey, New Jersey. It is the largest retailers' cooperative group of supermarkets and the fourth-largest cooperative of any kind in the United States.
ShopRite wasted no time in adding their signs to the property!
This will increase profits for both ShopRite and the APRR as traffic to this industry has been growing over the past 2 years. Now the APRR can make the moves in a more efficient manner spotting more railcars instead of having to move cars multiples times in a few days or twice in a day!
We now learn that Quaker Oats will be supplying ShopRite with a more diverse line of products for both their retail and wholesale operations.
Sir Neal and the entire APRR staff welcome the new Shoprite Warehouse!
