Mayor Janice S. Mironov cut the ribbon for the festive grand opening of Patel Brothers Grocery in the former Genuardi’s in the East Windsor Village on Princeton Hightstown Road (Route 571), joined by Township Council Members and store owners and lots of friends, family and employees.

Patel Brothers is a U.S. based grocery retail chain which offers a full line of groceries including dry goods, frozen items and fresh produce. The company partners with renowned food wholesaler Raja Foods, which imports food products such as rice, spices, and juices from countries including England, Spain, India, Pakistan, China and Australia.

Mayor Mironov stated, “This is a special day for East Windsor and for Patel Brothers as we cut the ribbon on their 50th grocery store. They have a known name and a great track record of offering a wide variety of products and brands and substantial produce section which should attract patrons from throughout the area. We are excited to welcome an experienced successfully established grocery chain to this available space as a shopping option for residents of our community.”

Mayor Mironov added, “Patel Brothers grocery store will immediately create approximately 20 full time jobs and many other part time jobs in our community, which is always a welcomed boost to our local economy. The decision of Patel Brothers grocery store to expand their company in East Windsor is another signal of the strong attraction of East Windsor and the Route 130 corridor area as a terrific location for new stores and restaurants.”

Patel Brothers grocery store, which opened their flagship store in 1974 in Chicago, Illinois, is a growing national chain with 49 locations in the United States and 3 locations in Canada. New Jersey locations include North Brunswick, South Amboy and Parsippany.
