Wakefern sets fall hiring event for Oct. 19
Kimberly Redmond//October 11, 2024//
Wakefern Food Corp. is kicking up hiring efforts at several of its supermarket banners across the Northeast.
As part of a walk-up job fair scheduled for Oct. 19 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., interested candidates can visit most participating ShopRite, Price Rite Marketplace, The Fresh Grocer, Gourmet Garage or Fairway Market stores for an on-the-spot interview.
In an Oct. 7 press release announcing the event, the Keasbey-based retailer-owned grocery cooperative said full-time, part-time and management positions are available, depending on location. Wakefern’s footprint extends throughout New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware and Maryland.
Openings – which include jobs in general, perishable, front end and stocking – offer flexible hours and entertainment as well as tuition discounts, according to Wakefern. The company also provides a variety of cross training to equip employees with the skills needed to work as a team throughout the store.
A spokesperson for Wakefern did not specify how many jobs the co-op’s member companies are trying to fill.
Job seekers can get more information about career opportunities by checking with their local stores.
