The ShopRite of Derby store recently completed a major renovation, transforming the store into a modern, customer-focused shopping destination – while staying true to the Cingari family’s longtime focus on quality and community. Key improvements include:

• Reimagined Floral and Produce Departments: Experience a fresh new look spotlighting seasonal and locally sourced fruits and vegetables, and stunning floral arrangements for every occasion.
• Upgraded Specialty Departments: From artisanal baked goods to premium including seafood, deli favorites and dairy offerings, customers can enjoy enhanced selections and improved customer convenience across the store.
• Sustainability and Energy Improvements:  Energy-efficient refrigeration, upgraded freezer units and modern lighting were designed to better showcase products while reducing the store’s environmental impact.

“Completing this renovation and welcoming Derby customers into the refreshed store is a proud moment for our family and our team,” said Thomas Cingari Sr., president and CEO of Cingari Family Markets. “I want to thank our associates for their dedication during the project and our customers for their support throughout. This store reflects our ongoing commitment to serve Derby with quality, convenience and care.”

As a fourth‑generation, family‑owned grocer with 10 ShopRites and two Cingari Family Markets across southwestern Connecticut, Cingari Family Markets remains committed to enhancing the local shopping experience, supporting sustainable practices and giving back to the communities it serves.
