I don’t get it. Why is this such an important event that all the rabbonim of Lakewood need to be there???
Any giveaways? Free stuff?
I don’t understand why this is so major? Did everyone forget we already have many supermarkets here that have been serving the olam for many years?
They are acting like this is the first supermarket to ever open here and carry kosher food.
Oilam Hazeh Oilam Hazeh Oilam Hazeh…. i forgot that seems to be the focus these days never mind
For a second I was like #1 : baffled. Then I thought about it and I’m no longer baffled. Hatzlocha rabbah to the store !!
I disagree with previous comments.
Delicious food is available, convenient take-out is mizakeh the rabim. And what about the jobs they are providing.
This is nothing less then a Kiddish Hashem. Let’s all wish them much Hatzlacha.
I am suprised Moshiach himself didn’t show up!!!
People, it’s called P.R!
Or free advertisement ! !!
why is it closing 11:00pm..way too early.
Im really confused why did all these rabbanim and law enforsment attend its just a grocery store im mean whats the “majorr” deal ????. good luck wish u the best
Do you think its a mitzvah to give jobs but take away from the parnassa of the food stores that are already here.
They definitely employed new people but, many nisht fun unzerer kehilla.
Apparently, it’s not worth posting the truth, especially when you’re dealing with a potentially big advertiser as opposed to the ones already here who haven’t advertised on this site in the past. As I said in my original post, which you won’t post- I am not related, nor do I work for the others.
Shame on you-shame on them. Shame on what many of us have become, they have no concern for the next person anymore.
Hatzlacha Rabbah I’m not concerned about other people losing parnasa, competition is the best thing for a business, and I am happy many more frum people will have parnasa, what I don’t think is fare is to introduce a whole new fressarai concept to Lakewood, hatzlacha
if competition will cause all Lakewood families to be able to save on groceries, that is a zechus!
Just for all the people that are worried about other stores losing “parnasah” do any of you know how much money is being spent a week on food?
