Under the entrepreneurial leadership of the late Lawrence Inserra, Larry’s father, Inserra Supermarkets has expanded to include twenty-three ShopRite Supermarkets, two Price Rite Markets, and one Fresh Grocer Market across Bergen, Hudson, and Passaic Counties in New Jersey and Rockland County in New York. As a company that is “proud to be a family business serving families”, the Inserra family stores have truly become an integral part of the fabric of each of the communities where they are located.  Every succeeding generation of Inserras has built upon Patsy’s vision of providing the highest quality products at the most reasonable prices.
