According to The Sun , In a significant last-minute holiday shake-up, Stop & Shop is set to close 17 stores across New York and New Jersey by this Saturday, just weeks before Thanksgiving. This decision has left many shoppers scrambling to adjust their plans as the chain continues to wind down operations in select areas of the Northeast.
This weekend’s closures will impact ten locations in New Jersey and seven in New York, following a trend of shutting down underperforming stores. Last month, Stop & Shop closed eight locations in Massachusetts, offering deep liquidation sales of 15% off to clear inventory.

The closures reflect Stop & Shop’s strategy to streamline its operations as part of a broader initiative to close 32 underperforming stores by the end of 2024. Company President Gordon Reaves stated that this decision aims to create a healthier foundation for the brand’s future growth. With increasing competition from retailers like Walmart and Amazon, Stop & Shop is focusing on enhancing its in-store and online customer experience.
Reaves emphasized the importance of adapting to changing consumer habits by investing in remodeling stores and offering lower everyday prices. Following these closures, Stop & Shop will operate 359 stores across Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island, while providing affected employees opportunities to transfer to nearby locations
