Inserra Supermarkets said Monday that its newest store would open next month in Wallington, N.J.

The 60,000-square-foot ShopRite of Wallington will feature ShopRite from Home, free nutrition and wellness programming including an in-store dietitian, full-service catering, a pharmacy and a liquor store, Inserra said. The store is located in the Wallington Plaza Shopping Center at 375 Paterson Ave.



The site, where A&P previously operated a Food Basics discount store that closed in 2012, was the subject of a dispute between Inserra and rival Stop & Shop that was privately settled early last year, reports said.
