Stop Shop Plans To Close Underperforming Stores

Stop & Shop Plans to Close Underperforming Stores

Grocery Chain to Shutter Locations in Region

27 Connecticut Stores Impacted

BOSTON - Stop & Shop is planning to close underperforming stores in the coming years, a move that could have a significant impact on shoppers across the region.

Ahold Delhaize, the Netherlands-based owners of Stop & Shop, Food Lion, and Hannaford, said it will close several underperforming Stop & Shop locations. The company did not specify how many stores would be closed or which locations would be affected.

However, a source familiar with the matter told The Boston Globe that about 10% of Stop & Shop's 400 stores would be closed, including 27 locations in Connecticut. The source said the closures would take place over the next few years.

Stop & Shop operates a total of 149 stores in Connecticut, including 27 locations in the following towns:

  • Branford
  • Bridgeport
  • Bristol
  • Danbury
  • Darien
  • East Hartford
  • Enfield
  • Fairfield
  • Glastonbury
  • Groton
  • Hamden
  • Hartford
  • Manchester
  • Middletown
  • Milford
  • New Britain
  • New Haven
  • New London
  • Norwalk
  • Norwich
  • Orange
  • Stamford
  • Stratford
  • Torrington
  • Waterbury
  • West Hartford
  • Westport

The closures are part of a broader effort by Ahold Delhaize to improve its financial performance. The company has been struggling with declining sales and profits in recent years.

The closures are likely to have a negative impact on Stop & Shop employees and customers. The company has not yet said how many employees will be affected by the closures.

Stop & Shop is the largest supermarket chain in New England. The company's closures will leave a void in the grocery market in the region.
