I work in Trenton NJ and Camden NJ and live relatively near to Camden.

The article cites to the Pathmark and Sav-A-lot supermarkets in Camden. I would have never guessed that either of these stores were in Camden. (They are indeed within city borders). They are both located far closer to the upper-middle-class suburb of Collingswood than to downtown Camden, about 5 miles by highway from downtown in fact.

“Wedged in” among fast fooderies seems to me an inapt descriptor as these stores are not wedged in to town at all but rather hanging onto the [out]skirts of the town.
