In the years since the first Price Rite opened, the concept has been tweaked to emphasize the size and freshness of the perishable departments in comparison to its competition. Newer stores, such as the Price Rite of Brockton, Massachusetts (at over ) are also larger than most of the earlier stores. Wakefern has also used the concept as a replacement for under-performing ShopRite stores or in regions where the Price Rite concept was thought to be more successful. As a result, under-performing ShopRite supermarkets in places such as York, Pennsylvania and Wethersfield, Connecticut have been converted to very successful Price Rite stores, keeping jobs and a supermarket in these towns. The Torrington, Connecticut Price Rite was a former ShopRite store that had sat unused for almost 10 years before it was opened as Price Rite.
