Sabina Musciano, of Galloway, was leaving the store carrying stacks of frozen pizzas. “Quite truthfully I drive 15 miles because I love their pizza,” she said. “I’m really upset. I live next to ShopRite. But you should try this pizza. My kids like it better than store-bought, like if I order it from a pizzeria.”

Lino Marroquin, of Cape May, doesn’t often shop at Genuardi’s but he does use it for its PNC Bank. He works near the store and stops by on his way home.

“I didn’t know it was closing,” he said. “That’s not good. Since I’ve been coming here to bank, I sometimes shop here as well.”

Adrianne Larson, of Northfield, isn’t sure where she will shop next.

“I used to shop at Superfresh. They’re gone,” she said. “I can go to Mazzeo’s. I can go to Tilton Market. They’re smaller community markets but they’re more expensive and they don’t carry the variety of food."
