History |
Sharp Shopper was established in Ephrata PA, in 1988, and is owned by Dennis & Bonnie Sharp. That is where the "Sharp" in "Sharp Shopper" originated. Sharp Shopper has four retail outlets in PA and two in VA. The Distribution Warehouse & Corporate Office are located in Ephrata, PA.
What is Sharp Shopper
Sharp Shopper features close-outs from the grocery industry. Close-outs become
available because of overproduction, packaging changes, seasonal items, warehouse damage,
or short date codes. Close-out items may be a national or private label brand and are
discounted well below regular retail prices. Inventories constantly change because of the
changing availability of products. Customers say this adds a "treasure hunt"
dimension to shopping at Sharp Shopper.
In addition to close-outs, Sharp Shopper offers fresh bread, dairy products, produce, bulk foods, soft drinks, etc. for your shopping convenience.
Sharp Shopper operates under all the same state and federal Department of Agriculture regulations as any typical grocery store.
The community can expect great
products, low prices, and friendly service at every location.
