WHITEHOUSE STATION, — QuickChek is continuing to brew success.
The Whitehouse Station, NJ-based fresh convenience market chain, a leader in food services with an exceptional fresh brewed coffee and fresh food program that has been voted the best in America in a national consumer survey, is proud to announce the opening of three new stores in the month of September.
Each of the new stores features a contemporary new white and brick exterior design with a green tower with a large green “Q” to complement an innovative “Fresh to Go” interior layout designed to enhance the shopping experience for busy people on-the-go.
Grand opening celebrations included free QuickChek coffee. Month-long in-store fundraising efforts will benefit youth sports teams local to each of the stores in Somerset, Roxbury Township, and Piscataway, NJ.
“When consumer behavior shifted during the early stages of the pandemic, we met the challenge by implementing new services such as curbside pickup and delivery, as well as increasing our mobile order capabilities,” said QuickChek Vice President of Marketing & Operations Don Leech. “We believe in letting you choose your convenience, whether you shop in-store, from home, from your phone, or on-the-go.”
“With the opening of new stores, we are continuing to meet local demand for safe, convenient neighborhood shopping in these vibrant communities.”
More than half of each new store’s floorplans are dedicated to freshly prepared food and beverages, including QuickChek’s guaranteed fresh brewed hot and iced coffees, to meet the needs of today’s fast-casual shopper.
The stores’ new look — and menus — will be very appealing.

Each of the three new stores will be open 24 hours a day, enabling consumers to create delicious made-to-order breakfast items including new Waffle Breakfast Sandwiches; oven-toasted fresh QuickChek subs, wraps, and salads; personalized hot and cold beverages exactly as they want them; or select freshly prepared ready-to-go items, any time of day or night.

TRENDY NEW MENU
With 57% of consumers saying they’re interested in comfort food, QuickChek’s “Thanksgiving Everyday” menu will meet these cravings. No-antibiotics-ever turkey, stuffing, cranberry relish and homestyle gravy on a Portuguese roll, sub roll or wrap, spice up
the sandwich menu. “Thanksgiving Everyday” soup will be back by popular demand, and Homestyle Gravy and Stuffing Bowls will be new additions to the menu.
And with Fall arriving, it’s pumpkin season! QuickChek Pumpkin Spice hot and iced coffees are available through the end of October.
QuickChek’s Fall smoothie lineup features a Peep Monster Smoothie, a Pumpkin Cookie Smoothie made with Golden Oreos, a Pumpkin Cream Pie smoothie, and espresso-based pumpkin drinks.
LOCAL BENEFITS
Each news store creates 35-to-45 new local jobs, including eight management positions. Each new QuickChek location typically generates approximately $1 million in tax revenues, adding to its positive impact on the local economy.
As does its commitment to giving back to the communities it serves: QuickChek recently raised $101,000 for military veterans and their families through an in-store promotion and its annual golf outing. As part of the Grand Openings, QuickChek will donate $0.25 for every sub sandwich sold within the first four weeks of each new store’s opening to local youth sports teams.
Consumers can also help support area food banks by rounding up their change at checkout.
