& Shop will continue to have a strong presence across its
five-state footprint with more than 350 stores. Stop & Shop
associates at impacted locations will be offered other

“Stop & Shop is proud of the deep roots and community ties
we have developed as a neighborhood grocer of more than 100 years,
and we remain committed to nourishing our associates, customers and
communities,” said Gordon Reid, President, Stop & Shop. “As we

“Our associates are a strong community dedicated to growing and
working together, and all of our store associates will continue to
have a place in the Stop & Shop family as we look forward to
serving customers at other nearby locations,” added Reid.
Stop & Shop will communicate specific store closing dates to
local customers well in advance of any store closures. Stop &
Shop remains committed to serving its communities through other
store locations, online shopping and home delivery services.
“Stop & Shop is focused on growing through large, multi-year
price investments and a stronger customer value proposition, both
in-store and online. This means we’ll be focused on delivering
lower everyday prices, as well as even more savings for our
customers through strong promotions,” added Reid. “Since 2018, we
have completed more than 190 store remodels, with the customer
shopping experience in mind. These stores are outperforming other
Stop & Shop stores that haven’t been remodeled. We’re taking
these learnings and implementing them at other stores as we build
upon our strong foundation, similar to our new Boston flagship
location, opened last month in the Allston Yards development. We
look forward to continuing to serve and care for our communities
and to grow Stop & Shop as a local brand for many years to
come.”

operate more than 350 stores spanning five states, including 81
stores in Connecticut, 115 in Massachusetts, 47 in New Jersey, 91
in New York and 25 in Rhode Island.
