BRODHEADSVILLE, Pa. — Officials of Wakefern Food Corp. and members of the Kinsley family that owns the local ShopRite here unveiled a new, 95,000-square-foot replacement store on Friday, nearly doubling the size of the old ShopRite nearby.

Kinsley said the project represents a $26 million investment. Whimsical design flourishes include a model train track suspended above the checkout lines, and a collection of antiques including a 1926 Model T Ford. Kinsley said the antiques come from a family-owned collection and represent the heritage of the company, founded by Kinsley's grandfather in 1950.
The store replaces a 53,000-square-foot location nearby.
