Passover shopping in Philly area

Having recently moved to Philadelphia, this will be my first Passover here. Where is the best store to find Passover goods? I was in Wegman's in Cherry Hill today and was very disappointed with the limited selection. Thanks.

    1. Try the Shop Rite in Cherry Hill, just up the road from Wegman's

          I don't know about the Shop Rite in Cherry Hill, but for those on the Philly side of the river, the Shop Rite in NE Philly (Haldeman andd the Boulevard) has a real super-sized selection -- virtually a whole Passover store!

              Thanks so much; I will try it tomorrow.

            2. Both the Shop-Rite in Cherry Hill and the one on the Boulevard have "The Kosher Experience" which is basically a whole kosher store w/in the store. There are also a couple of kosher butchers in Northeast Philly. One is on Castor, but I can't remember the name.

                  Yes, we just got back from the Kosher Experience in Cherry Hill yesterday,, where they had I think 3 rooms of passover stuff, plus about half of the main Kosher Experience section, plus dairy and frozen (which they finally moved right in front of the Kosher Experience instead of across the store like in past years). They didn't yet have the trove of cakes and cookies from NY that they usually get. Interesting new thing: Ukrainian shmura matza. Favorite from last year: Schmerling's raw milk emmenthal cheese. Thank you.

                      Do they have kosher coke there?

                          Oh yes Kosher for Passover Coke is at Wegman's and Shop Rite in Cherry Hill and Northeast Philly. Just look for the YELLOW CAP. They have both Coke and Diet Coke

                              yeah, they had pallets of it. Thanks.
