Keasbey, NJ (PRWEB) July 12, 2013 -- It’s been 42 years since the January Can Can sale debuted and ShopRite customers just can’t get enough. In fact, that’s why the Summer Can Can event was introduced eleven years ago. The Can Can sale continues to have a loyal and devoted following among ShopRite customers. Over the years, the Can Can Sale has changed and grown. Originally intended to focus solely on ShopRite Private Label products, today many national brands are included, as well.

During the sales event, ShopRite customers can take advantage of amazing values on many summer favorites, traditional picnic fare and barbecue staples – at extraordinarily low prices. Summer Can Can also features many of the favorites customers love from the winter sale like pasta, coffee, canned tomatoes and olive oil.

Although there are no sales figures available from the early days of ShopRite’s Can Can sale, the company estimates it has sold more than 3 billion cans over the sale’s 42 year history. This includes nearly 100 million bottled and canned beverages, 5 million cans of tomatoes, 5 million cans of vegetables and millions of cans of tuna.

The 2013 ShopRite Summer Can Can sale begins on July 14th and runs through July 27st at all ShopRite stores in the Northeast.
