The first drive-through grocery started in Broomall, Pa. in 1968. The newest store will be in Somerdale (Camden County), NJ, along the White Horse Pike near Somerdale Road.

John Betz (at left in photo) is franchisee of the South Jersey store:

“It’s a grocery store at your car door. So whether it’s a rotisserie chicken or a gallon of milk, we are going to have it at your car door in a short amount of time.”

The Somerdale location is scheduled to open the barn door in October. Two more South Jersey locations are in the works.
