SuperValu had Max-Club, Meijer had SourceClub, H-E-B had its Bodega clubs, and Wakefern decided to follow suit with PriceRite clubs. Wakefern defined PriceRite as a "mini-club", and at under , promoted it as a convenient alternative to the massive conventional clubs. The logo initially used for PriceRite was the same as a former ShopRite logo, only instead of the graphic of a shopping carriage with circles inside, there was a flatbed cart with square boxes on it to symbolize the wholesale nature of the PriceRite Mini Clubs. (This saved costs on new sign-frames for the stores, since they all were previously a ShopRite and already had round sign-frames.) PriceRite Mini-Clubs were opened in buildings that had previously housed ailing or outdated ShopRite stores and had been simply retrofitted with warehouse-type shelving. Thus, they lacked size, and did not have enough of a following to attract shoppers away from the true warehouse competition (Sam's Club, BJ's Wholesale Club and Price Club), which were opening all over the New York and Philadelphia metropolitan areas. Wakefern members operated PriceRite mini-clubs in Rockaway Borough, Fishkill, New York and Toms River, New Jersey. The last Price Rite club closed in 1994.
