A new retail building of about 81,769 square feet is proposed at 501 East Jimmie Leeds Road in Galloway Township. The county record lists a reported construction cost of $10 million.
Online listings point to this being a relocated ShopRite supermarket. A broker listing describes a new ShopRite of roughly 81,500 square feet at the signalized corner of Jimmie Leeds Road and South Pitney Road, with extra pad sites for other tenants. It describes the building as under construction. A local news post reports the project was approved in 2020 and that the current, smaller store is about 55,000 square feet. That post could not be opened for checking, so the figure is unverified. No opposition was found.
The county's 2025 filing is probably a later step in a project that is already moving. No township agenda or minutes were found that confirm this.
What it could mean nearby
- The site sits at a signalized intersection that a broker listing says carries over 29,000 vehicles a day, so store traffic would add to an already busy corner.
- A larger replacement supermarket may add retail jobs, though no staffing figures were found.
- Extra pad sites could bring additional shops or restaurants next to the store.
Where it stands
Local reports indicate the project was approved by the township in 2020 and is under construction, and a county filing was recorded on 2025-08-22. Remaining steps usually include county and state permit sign-offs, final inspections and a certificate of occupancy before the store opens.

Want to weigh in? Township approvals were reportedly granted in 2020, so there is probably no new public hearing. Residents can raise questions with the Galloway Township Planning Board or the township's land use office.
