Chain to hire 300, open 8 South Jersey groceries
Joseph N. DiStefano
North Carolina-based Bottom Dollar Food says it's going to hire 300 for 8 new stores in South Jersey. Stores will open: in the 2700 block of S. Broad St., Trenton, and the 1400 block of US 130 North, Cinnaminson, on March 2; on April 13 at US 130 and Farnsworth Ave.; and later in the year in Edgewater Park, Bellmawr, Woodbury, Mount Holly, and East Windsor (also on US 130). The new stores join 5 existing South Jersey Price Choppers, and 13 more in Philadelphia and its Pennsylvania suburbs, part of a surge of low-end non-union grocers competing with market leaders Shop-Rite and Acme Markets.

This is proof that the economy is doing great under Obama. Stop trying to lie about him because he is black.— eldiablodelsol2009- Just got their flier in the mail... Sale price ONLY GOOD WITH MEMBERSHIP CARD! To hell with them. I don't need another piece of plastic for every store I visit... just to give them marketing information And with gas prices as high as they are, the marginal savings BD is posting would be eaten up by the time I drove the extra couple miles to get there.— CJCommuter
- Cleverly, we now have Giant breaking the thug unions, and soon to buy Genuardis in our area. It is about time for right to work.— LJM
- I worked for this company for 6 months...Nice people but I was very disapointed in how they hire you and after a few months cut hours then dump you like a bad habit.......prices are good on most items you have to know how to shop and know prices— merchandiser
I hope the CEO of Bottom Dollar is making enough money to retire. I hate it when a CEO cant afford the third vacation house because of those greedy employees who should be paid at minimum wage anyway, so the CEO can make maximum wages.- Sounds like a lot of sour grapes - complaining about union jobs and pensions. There was a time that supermarket employees made living wages and decent pensions. One-income families could very well afford to shop at Acme and Penn Fruit. Now, the stores are full of part-time, minimum wage, no-benefit or pension jobs, and two-income families can barely afford to buy their groceries. Times have changed, but not for the better.— Boru

- Bottom Dollar is a nice little concept. Simple, priced right and clean. They should do well.— kelprod2

- ...That's helpful. But do you really prefer a market-dependent 401-k to an insured pension? I have both, and I prefer the pension! Leave investing to the pros. It's tough enough for them.— Joe D
- Still don't get your beef, Thompson. I know lots of retired union people who enjoy collecting and spending their pensions. Once you're vested, you're in. Even when a company is mismanaged and blows up, PBGC picks up the pieces, especially for people who are actually retirement age... I also know lots of low-level workers too glad to have any job, or too unskilled or unable to get a better one, who have no retirement at all. I don't blame companies for wanting to pay less, but I gotta shake my head, that you think workers should LIKE it that way.— Joe D
- Sure, Thompson, you'd rather have no retirement plan at all, than a vested, audited, insured union pension? Ha!— Joe D

- Oh how I hope you also make minimum wage. Maybe then you can tell these people how to pay their bills on minimum wage!! Unions are scum. But rich business owners who don't pay workers enough to make a living are at least equal scum. — justacarpenter
