Stop & Shop Prepares to Close Underperforming Stores
Company Remains Silent on Specific Locations and Timeline
By CBS Boston | May 29, 2024
WEB Stop & Shop has embarked on a four-year plan to "optimize" its store portfolio, which includes the closure of underperforming locations. The company has not yet disclosed the specific stores or regions to be affected.
Last week, Stop & Shop announced the upcoming closures but did not provide information on whether stores in Massachusetts would be impacted. The company has also declined to comment on the number of stores that will be shuttered or the timeframe for the closures.
The closures are part of a broader strategy by Stop & Shop to streamline its operations and focus on improving the customer experience at its remaining stores. The company has invested heavily in online ordering, grocery delivery, and store renovations in recent years.
Stop & Shop operates over 400 stores in the Northeast, including approximately 150 in Massachusetts. The closures are expected to have an impact on both employees and customers in the affected communities.
Stay tuned for updates from CBS Boston and Stop & Shop on the locations and timeline of the upcoming store closures.
