Grocery store giant Stop & Shop will close five Connecticut locations, along with 27 other stores in the Northeast, by Nov. 2, 2024, the company announced Friday. The closings are a part of the company’s plan for future growth, as these locations are underperforming.
“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,” said the company in a statement.
Current associates at closing locations will be offered other positions within the company, according to the statement.
Stop & Shop employs 58,000 associates and operates around 400 stores throughout Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York and New Jersey.
In addition to the Connecticut closings, eight stores in Massachusetts will close, 10 in New Jersey, seven in New York and two stores in Rhode Island.
