“Stop & Shop is proud of its deep roots and community ties that have been built as a local grocer for more than 100 years, and we remain committed to serving our employees, customers and the communities we serve,” Stop & Shop president Gordon Reed said in a statement. “As we announced in May, Stop & Shop evaluated its entire store portfolio and made the difficult decision to close underperforming stores in order to create a healthy foundation for the brand’s future growth.”
“Our employees are a strong community committed to growing and working together, and we look forward to all of our store associates continuing to be part of the Stop & Shop family and serving customers in our other nearby stores,” Reed added.
Stop & Shop said it will provide advance notice of specific closure dates before any stores close.
Stop & Shop said that once the store closures are complete, it will operate more than 350 stores across five states, including 81 in Connecticut, 115 in Massachusetts, 47 in New Jersey, 91 in New York and 25 in Rhode Island.
