Toms River and Manchester Will Soon Have their First Kosher Supermarkets

TOMS RIVER, NJ – With the everchanging population base in the Toms River and surrounding five towns area, the need for Kosher supermarkets has finally met the level where there will soon be two built.

Seasons, based out of Lakewood Township, will be opening one location in Toms River at the intersection of Cox Cro Road and Route 9 in the newly rebuilt plaza at the northwest corner of the intersection.

In Manchester, there will be a Seasons built near the intersection of Route 70 and Ridgeway.

The two stores join Aisle 9, which opened in Jackson Township earlier this year on East Veterans Highway. NPGS has maintained a Kosher supermarket on Countyline Road in Jackson for many years.

Seasons operates a flagship store on Cedarbridge Avenue near the Jersey Shore BlueClaws stadium. The supermarket chain operates five other locations in North Jersey and New York.
