shoprite-meats.jpgThe new ShopRite supermarket in Albany is set to open Thursday, April 26. There was a soft opening event last night, which was invitation only, and Albany.com's Rick Marchant was on the scene to give us a sneak peek at what we can expect.

"Walking in to Shop Rite's soft opening Tuesday evening, attendees were greeted initially by most every senior member of their staff," said Marchant. "We were given samples of Boar's Head meats, NYS locally made cheeses, seafood selections, a carving station and too many good sweets to choose from."

The new store also features row after shiny-floored new row of fresh produce, giant freezer cases, a gluten free section and a great selection of beer.

ShopRite also goes over and above to meet their consumers' needs... and I mean over and above...
Albany has a new place you can store your belongings. There is a new state of the art self storage facility in downtown Albany opening tomorrow. 
cookie-factory.jpgThere is nothing quite like Cookie Factory goodies. Just ask my 2 year old! Her great grandmother "Marme" works at their current location on Congress Street in Troy. Every time we go, we end up leaving with much more than we originally planned.
