EDITOR'S NOTE: Initially, the grand opening was listed July 7 at 10 a.m. The modified time and a few other details are included in the press release below.

 

The grand opening celebration for the new SHOP ‘n SAVE, located at 460 East Main Street will take place on July 7 beginning with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 8:50 a.m. The new store will be open to the public directly after the event. SHOP ’n SAVE store owners Tom and Debbie Jamieson, who have spent more than 25 years in the grocery and retail business, are proud to introduce a convenient, full-service grocery destination to the residents of Bridgeport.

 

“We’ve poured a great deal of time and energy into developing a full-service food destination for the residents of Bridgeport,” said Tom Jamieson, SHOP ’n SAVE owner and developer of Bridgeport Commons. “At the new SHOP ‘n SAVE Bridgeport, our customers can expect everyday low prices, in-demand products and a comfortable, clean environment. The Bridgeport community is an extension of our family so we put our hearts into giving them an excellent grocery experience.”

 

The Bridgeport Commons shopping center is anchored by the 30,000 square-foot SHOP ’n SAVE. The new full-service grocery store will offer residents a wide variety of fresh produce, prepared food options, expanded dairy and frozen foods section, full-service deli, bakery, fresh seafood and meat with on-site butchers. The Bridgeport Commons shopping center will also have a mid-large tenant and a smaller tenant.

 

As the "just right" grocer of Bridgeport, the new SHOP ’n SAVE will provide customers with double coupons, weekly specials and everyday savings. Participation in the SHOP 'n SAVE Perks Card will provide special discounts, along with Pump Perks redeemable at participating fuel locations.

 

According to a market study, there was a niche opportunity for a grocery store in downtown Bridgeport. Armed with this knowledge, in addition to personal requests from Bridgeport community members, Jamieson and his family put in motion the plan to open their ninth independently owned and operated SHOP ’n SAVE in Bridgeport.

 

Local dignitaries and SHOP ’n SAVE representatives will celebrate the new development and honor the Jamieson Family during the ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday, July 7 at 8:50 a.m. For more information, please visit www.shopnsavefood.com.
