<\/a><\/p>\nsupermarket chains in the metropolitan area. Inserra Supermarkets was founded in 1954 by Larry\u2019s grandfather, Patsy Inserra. \u00a0Although the original Lyndhurst store no longer exists, the new ShopRite of Lyndhurst is still referred to as \u201cPatsy\u2019s\u201d.<\/p>\n
Under the entrepreneurial leadership of the late Lawrence Inserra, Larry\u2019s father, Inserra Supermarkets has expanded to include twenty-three ShopRite Supermarkets, two Price Rite Markets, and one Fresh Grocer Market across Bergen, Hudson, and Passaic Counties in New Jersey and Rockland County in New York. As a company that is \u201cproud to be a family business serving families\u201d, the Inserra family stores have truly become an integral part of the fabric of each of the communities where they are located.\u00a0 Every succeeding generation of Inserras has built upon Patsy\u2019s vision of providing the highest quality products at the most reasonable prices.<\/p>\n
Larry Inserra Jr. was born in Newark and raised in Rutherford, NJ.\u00a0 While attending high school, Larry worked in the family ShopRite business.\u00a0 He attended Lehigh University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in business and economics.\u00a0 In addition to his family business accomplishments, Larry provides leadership to a number of communities and business organizations.\u00a0 He serves as the Chairman of both the Hackensack Meridian Health Network Board & the Hackensack Meridian Health Carrier Clinic. He also serves on the boards of the Wakefern Food Corporation, the Commerce and Industry Association of New Jersey, and the Ramapo College Foundation.<\/p>\n
