ShopRite is an American retailers' cooperative of supermarkets with stores in six states: Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.

Based in Keasbey, New Jersey, ShopRite consists of 50 individually owned and operated affiliates with over 300 stores, all under its corporate and distribution arm, Wakefern Food Corporation. Wakefern itself owns and operates 28 of the locations through subsidiary ShopRite Supermarkets.[2] Several Wakefern members own and operate single ShopRite stores, while most own multiple locations. The average Wakefern member operates six stores. The Saker family owns and operates the most ShopRite stores in the cooperative (40) throughout Monmouth, Ocean, and Mercer counties in New Jersey.

ShopRite has been the largest food retailer in New Jersey for close to 70 years and is also number one in the entire New York metropolitan area. Since 2011, ShopRite is also the largest retailer of food in Greater Philadelphia, pushing long-dominant Acme Markets to second place and, in 2013, to third place.[3] As of 2011, Wakefern was ranked 17th by sales among all supermarket operators in the United States.[4] In a 2022 survey by Newsweek, ShopRite was named the "Most Trusted Grocery Retailer" in the Northeast.[5]
