Stop & Shop today released a list of 32 underperforming stores it will close on or before Nov. 2, 2024, in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island.
The move is part of the grocer’s effort to restructure the company for growth, which includes making “investments in price and customer experience,” Stop & Shop said in a press release.
The company’s five-state footprint will hover just above 350 stores, following the closures.
“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,” Shop & Shop President Gordon Reid said in the press release. “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.”
