ShopRite of Hylan Blvd

In an age where grocery stores have stepped their games up ShopRite remains in the 20^th century. This location is cramped and a little skeevy. Maybe its just outdated.
Like most have mentioned on here the parking is a pain in the arse. People trying to leave, people coming in, its really annoying. That’s just at night. Its not any better in the morning as the parking lot is crawling with seniors who drive even slower!
The isles are tight. Like others have mentioned do be prepared to knock carts. Ive been stuck in isles before waiting for slow people to move or make their choice and then move. I have zero patience for slow movers.
This store needs a facelift. Pathmark is gone, Stop and Shop is somewhat updated, key food isn’t too outdated, but shoprite needs to catch up.
Employee’s here are strange. Maybe they’re descendants of Willowbrook. Not sure where they find them. I usually have some form of confrontation when I’m in this store. There’s two types that work in super markets, students and people who only know working in super markets.
Prices are nice though for grocery items but kind of high for the fresh produce and vegetables. Stick to a fruit/​vegetable market for that.
I’d skip it.

This is a very crowded, busy supermarket but if you order online and have your groceries delivered it is a better way to go. What I like about this place is that they are open 24 hours a day (which is rare in Staten Island). They also have a lot of sales and are cheaper than Stop and Shop and Met Foods. The online delivery is great, very convenient and only $ 10 for delivery which I don’t mind paying especially since their prices are typically lower. They are also well stocked and I usually find everything I needed.

I’m re-​reviewing here to make sure that everyone is aware that shop rite at home is the very best way to blow an hour of your day instead of a ten minute trip to the store. They do Ecommerce WRONG.

Its a busy, busy place. Feels like a competition to get into the parking lot, get parked, get into the store, get your stuff, and get out. If I lived nearby, I’d save my list for like a month before venturing into the place.
The area needs a Whole Foods.

Love this store! They always have a great selection & sales available (although, finding the sales items is a different story, though). The store is usually cleaned, organized and well stock. The employees are typically friendly & helpful — but everyone has their bad days (sometimes, the cashiers can be rude for no reason). During busy season, the store can be quiet packed and hard to find a cart — and parking.

Very bad service
Very bad shoprite from home: produce is always rotten, items are ALWAYS missing. If u call and let them know, they do not apologize they dont care even the manager. They are not improving at all.

This is my go to supermarket for several reasons. The most important being price. But that being said, if it’s not on sale it’s too expensive, particularly the produce. The dairy aisle in the back is much to small. You need a drivers license to navigate it.
My biggest single issue is the employees who are picking the orders for shop from home. They are the rudest, most inconsiderate, unprofessional people. The cashiers are good, the women behind the customer service desk are great but the head cashier has a serious attitude problem. And where the heck are the managers?

Great sale prices. Double coupons up to $.99. Friendly staff. It can get crowded but I don’t care: this is NYC.

I actually dread the idea of food shopping now. The parking lot is an absolute nightmare… and I’m not even a driver. The entire set up inside the store is a joke. How much can you cram in such a tight space! The aisles are very narrow. And whomever had the idea to stock the store using large metal crates in the middle of aisles on a Saturday afternoon is an idiot. And I can’t say enough about the morons who shop their hanging out at the end of aisles on their cell phones!
I was a Pathark customer and I miss them!

Very rarely can I get everything I need. Parking here too, is just as bad as their sister store off of Forest. I can say their customer service is a lot better though.

I feel like I should work here as I am shopping here just about everyday. The prices can’t be beat. All employees I’ve encountered have been helpful & friendly, they work so hard especially during the can can sale! The comment from the customer expecting the cashier to help get locked up baby formula was plain silly, what leave his register? Common sense go to customer service. My only complaint would be the back aisle of the store being a traffic nightmare, could this possibly be widened? Try saying hello to the security guards going in or coming out of the store (they’ll be pleasantly surprised).

What an awful experience!
I normally order home delivery from this location which is always great, but today I decided to stop in because I was in the area. Boy was it a mistake!
First off, the parking lot is a disaster. So many cars waiting for spots and a light right at the entrance causes a long back up of cars which in turn results in lots of beeping.
As soon as you walk in you realize it’s chaos. Way too many people and not enough space, anywhere! It’s really insane. I was frustrated from the moment I walked in until I left. Most aisles are not wide enough and makes for traffic everywhere you go. I waited in line to move down every aisle more than I got to shop. Was I shopping or driving my car? I couldn’t tell anymore! And I hope you know what you want exactly since stopping at all is almost impossible. At times I wanted to look at a few items and was being rushed along by people behind me waiting for me to move since they couldn’t get around me any other way. Also, you can forget about manners b/​c there aren’t any. Everyone just shoved their way through, hitting your cart, or leaving theirs blocking an aisle so you couldn’t move along. No one lets you through and if you say excuse me it was ignored. At one point I found my way down a wrong aisle (see picture) and it took me about 5 min to get down it! I got stuck and there was no way to turn around. There were people behind me and the people that were taking up both sides wouldn’t move. Fantastic.
Half way through I literally was going to ditch my cart and go home but I refused to let this place take me down! I finally get to the register, which actually thankfully were all open and all had baggers. I was hopeful! That was until I realized that there was only enough room from register to register to fit your cart sooo if I pushed my cart straight in then I couldn’t unload what was in front and if I went in before my cart, I couldn’t unload what was up front. Are u kidding me?! Thankfully no one was behind me so I could back up and unload the cart in halves. My cashier was friendly but I wasn’t thrilled with the bagger. She was very nice but she bagged all my stuff and the left in on the belt. She didn’t put it in my cart so when I realized it, I did it myself which I’m cool with but the guy behind me was already being checked out and his food hitting into my bags because I couldn’t get them in my cart fast enough as the bagger just stared at me.
Needless to say, it was my first and last trip there. Back to delivery for me until something opens up in my area.

I work sometimes on SI so I use this supermarket occasionally. This, as is the one on McDonald Ave a disaster waiting to happen. They are always unpacking merchandise all over the place in way of the customers. The design of the store makes me dizzy and I just want to puke.

It’s shop rite. What can I say. I don’t like going to the supermarket during the day, so I usually avoid it at all costs. They have everything you would expect in a supermarket. The sales are the sales… The meat is usually fresh and they carry all different cuts. I’ve been coming here for a while and typically find decent produce here as well.

Supermarkets on SI are weird. I like that the parking lots are big but most of them having shoddy produce, like what you encounter in the city. ShopRite has great fresh produce but its «natural market» foods are lacking. There is only one small trader joes for the entire island (which is limited in its meatless options) and no Whole Foods and the Fairway isn’t opening until 2017 so the minus two stars is because the gluten free/​meatless options are lacking. I get that there might not be a huge demand on Staten island but I can still be disappointed. Staff is nice and helpful, store is clean. Patrons range from randos spilling out of their clothes to senior citizens and everyone in between but the heavy security guard force kind of sketches me out.

This is a very old, somewhat grubby store with narrow aisles. It is often very, very crowded. That being said, the shelves are better stocked and the prices are better than the two PathMarks I recently sampled. Because the store is so uncomfortable to navigate and the check-​out lines are so slow, I was using the Shop From Home service. For a while, it was the best value around — just $ 5 for them to pull my order and have it ready for me to pick up — no lines. But over the past few months that service has deteriorated noticeably. The orders are often late and there are errors in what they pull. Also, you cannot trust that you will get the prices they advertise on line. You will choose an item based on the on-​line price, then find out that the Hylan Blvd store is selling it at a higher price. It seems to be the old «bait and switch» to me. That being said, for price and selection Shop Rite is the best of the supermarkets I’ve tried on Staten Island so far. Next week, I am going to try the Richmond Avenue Shop Rite.

The worst shoprite ever! Don’t bother shopping here if u want shoprite from home. Too much hassle to deal with. They don’t come on Time, they won’t honor online prices u believe you actually paid for. They always don’t have items advertised online, bad produce products. Simply bad business you can’t trust. Stay away from this store!

It’s huge!!!
I live in Manhattan and have adjusted to tiny supermarkets with mini shopping carts and where it’s impossible to pass another customer in the aisle.
This place is like, the size of two city blocks. I’m sure you could buy 200 distinct kinds of yogurt on any given day. And every frozen vegetable known to man. I know that in reality, this supermarket is just like every other supermarket in the suburbs. But to me it was magical and amazing.

Not really one of the best Shop Rites I’ve seen only will use this one if it’s really! Necessary parking lot is a joke! The Bakery department is a good one though for a supermarket

Its open 24 hours and I like shopping at ShopRite. The coupons they offer is usefull and you get good specials every week.
One more thing, I love their watermelon, all watermelons I got from there were sweet.
Cashiers are nice usually.

I have a love/​hate relationship with this supermarket. The parking lot is horrible and some aisles can be small. But, you can’t beat the prices and the sales. They usually have everything I need, including random ingredients for new recipes. If the store was a little tidier, it would get another star.

the most well managed supermarket I have been too! Always stocked shelves. If not, there in the morning. Good sales. They steam Lobster and it is always on sale. Watermelon most weeks is $ 3.99 (during season). Shop at Home service is great too! My older son now buys sushi there. Japanese couple makes it fresh in front of you.

Gotta have favorite place for grocery shopping, right?
It is fairly priced; always fresh produce — some from local farms; good selection of organic and your everyday items. Nice sales and specials.
They also credit for using your own bags, a plus in my book.
(The downside with recent renovation they stopped carrying some of the items, and it is a minor inconvenience to creatures of habit like myself…)

Review on their sushi bar.
Freshest sushi rolls and sashimi comparable to other Chinese-​wannabe-​Japanese restaurant. Of course, I can’t compare t to Hatsuhana sushi den or other authentic Japanese sushi places.
Mitsuwa is my gave Japanese grocery but since it’s far, I’d settle for Shoprite’s.

Perhaps one of the most poorly laid out supermarkets in the history of all supermarkets. As soon as you enter you are forced, much like cattle to slaughter, into a cramped maze of produce. There is barely enough room for two carts to fit between the produce bins and inevitably, no matter what time of day, there is a produce person or two with his or her metal cart restocking avocado or honeydew, making it even more difficult to get around.
Once you have made it out of produce hell, you wind up in the depths of deli hell and from here the third circle of hell which is cleverly disguised as the meat aisle followed by the dreaded dairy… ummmm… labyrinth.
I am also suspicious that there is a laser beam above the entryway that stuns the frontal lobe as people enter. There is no other possible explanation for the debacle of attempting to get around without someone or something blocking your safe passage through the impossibly narrow aisles.
And for the love of pete, why do they insist on having those kiddie-​car shopping carts? Sure, why not further throw a wrench into the narrow aisled works by adding an extra three feet of length to the front a shopping cart. Those things have a terrific truning radius, I tell you.
I can not even begin to comment on the variety or the quality because to be perfectly honest by the time I make it to the shampoo aisle I am so desperately annoyed that it makes it impossible for me to leisurely peruse the shelves.
You can’t sugar coat this shopping experience for anyone of any age. Even with souped up, hot rod shopping carts my friend.
As if attempting to shop here wasn’t egregious enough, you’ll have what is left of your patience tested while attempting to get out that mammoth shit storm of a parking lot. If a supermarket has a need to employ a traffic cop to get people out, there’s a serious layout problem.
In conclusion, this ShopRITE is just wrong.
