play

Stop & Shop last week released a list of 32 stores they’re planning to close this year – and seven of those supermarkets set to shutter are located in the Empire State. The company said the stores will close by Nov. 2.

The Massachusetts-based chain will still have 91 stores in New York and more than 350 across the five-state area, according to the company.

“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,” Gordon Reid, the president of Stop & Shop, said in a news release.

As the company announced in May, the chain evaluated its overall store portfolio “and made the difficult decision to close underperforming stores to create a healthy base for the future growth of our brand,” Reid said.

In May, corporate parent company Dutch-based Ahold Delhaize of Stop & Shop told investors of the company’s plans to close underperforming stores. Chief executive for the United States JJ Fleeman said the company would also consider brand density, the position each store holds in the market and how well each store performs.

In New York, the following stores are closing:

What will happen to Stop & Shop employees at the stores that are closing?

The company said employees will be relocated to nearby locations.

How many Stop & Shop locations are there?

As of July 2024, Stop & Shop has 397 stores, according to their website, with the largest footprint in Massachusetts.

They have 125 stores in Massachusetts, 100 in New York, 88 in Connecticut, 57 in New Jersey and 27 in Rhode Island.

Why is Stop & Shop planning to close stores?

In the presentation to investors in May, Fleeman said to assure “a stable and thriving” future they needed to focus on “optimizing the portfolio to focus on core markets where it can win.”

Remodels that Stop & Stop have done in some stores since 2018 helped performance. But, overall “it’s not enough, and it’s not where we want to be or need to be,” Fleeman said.
