Soulberry Market has recently taken over the former Black Forest Acres in Hamilton, New Jersey, marking the latest expansion for the regional natural-food chain now operating its third outlet. The rebranded site succeeds Black Forest Acres’ nearly three-decade legacy on Route 33, while preserving its commitment to health-oriented groceries. Following the transformation of the Hamilton store last summer, Soulberry celebrated its second location in Spring Lake Heights, New Jersey, occupying the space formerly held by Natures Corner. That beachside opening extended the chain’s reach from inland towns toward coastal communities.
The Hamilton location, now Soulberry Market, continues the company’s trajectory of steadily adding stores throughout the region. The new ownership team, experienced in the independent health-food industry, has carried forward an organic and local product focus that fans of the original store will recognize, while implementing fresh branding and possible facility upgrades. Together with the original Soulberry venue in New Hope, Pennsylvania, these developments bring the brand’s total to three stores. The move adds further depth to Soulberry’s presence in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania, reinforcing its role in serving health-conscious customers across state lines. While the company has not publicly detailed its long-term expansion strategy, the addition of the Hamilton location under its current management signals confidence in growth. Combined with its established operations, Soulberry appears positioned to continue extending its footprint in the natural-food retail space, using a blend of location, variety, and consistent service to attract loyal shoppers.
