Stop & Shop

I like Stop & Shop for its late hours. It’s one of the few places in the area that is open until Midnight. Costco closes way earlier & Whole Foods is closed by 10 pm. So if you forget something & are in need of fresh produce or cookies, Stop & Shop is a good alternative. I like the people who work here, they are helpful & will give you the discount if you forget your Stop & Shop card. They have Stop & Shop chocolate cookies with candy that are pretty good. They used to make them really soft, now they bake them a little more but they are still good. I tend not to like most baked goods at supermarket chains but I have to admit that their cookies are pretty good. They carry a mix of healthy & junk foods, and also they used to have the Mexican Coke (with the cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup). I’m not sure if they still have it, but you can request that they order it for you at customer service. Very convenient parking especially during the winter & when it rains, it’s covered so you don’t have to worry about your groceries getting soaking wet/​snowed on.

Huge selection and very clean store. Employees are nice and parking is ok. I don’t think the prices are that great. I understand now why Costco is driving supermarkets out of business. I think Pathmark is cheaper too.
I wouldn’t not go there. Now a days, there is not too many supermarket companies left. This one is Dutch owned. But Costco has nothing to fear. I wish we had Kroger/​Safeway but we don’t.
It’s ok.

Very convenient local supermarket.
Wide range of products at reasonable prices. Sign up for a customer card and you get further special offer discounts too.
Helpful staff always available to assist.
Reasonable undercover parking but smallish spaces so check before you reverse out of your spot.

I can’t give this store a one because it does have a better variety and layout than many other Stop & Shop stores but my issue is that their produce is bad about 50% of the time and I have purchased dairy products from here before that expire the day of purchase — be careful and really check what you buy so you don’t end up wasting your time and money.

Like this as a place to shop but be prepared foods are just nasty. The salad that I picked up, under the top layer of nice presentation, was disgusting. Old, soggy lettuce that was brown and smelled bad.

I call this store STOP AND WAIT.
This store is getting worse by the year. I began shopping there when it first opened and have noticed a continual decline in the past few years. The produce is horrible. Very old and expensive. Many perishable items are past their expiration date, and still out on the floor for sale.
The checkout lanes are nearly always understaffed, and yet there are «managers» on the phone or on the floor milling around doing nothing; while the local people are waiting in interminable lines, just to get their necessities, and get to work on time.
When this is called to managements’ attention, there is a sigh and eyeroll, and barely an acknowledgement of the problem.
There are countless «self-​checkout» lanes that take forever because they are not user friendly and have constant backups due to problems with checkout.
The courtesy counter is generally understaffed and slow-​moving.
The checkout staff are friendly and helpful, however, and I wish management could take some lessons from them.
In summary: Old food/​unhelpful attitudes/​SLOW service/​= poor management
Now that Whole Foods opened nearby, I use them or CostCo 90% of the time. And only shop at Stop and Shop under dire necessity for unperishable items only.
PS I have even written to corporate Stop and Shop about the conditions of the store, and included pictures of rotting produce on display, and have received no satisfaction from them either.

We get our weekly shopping done here. Prices are fair and they have almost everything you would need around the house that is food/​health/​laundry/​cleaning related. More importantly, this place is clean.
Parking is easy. There is a huge lot that is covered (so you don’t get soaked if it’s raining), and there are always employees transporting shopping carts from the outside, back in. Those who are stocking the shelves are incredibly helpful; in fact, just today, we found an issue with prices and the employee promptly helped us with our issue. And with a smile to boot.
They have a mix of healthy and unhealthy foods – sure to appeal to a broad spectrum of customers. It seems like they’re very attentive to their customers’ requests and will obtain an item ASAP.
I love apples, and I love how large their apple selection is. They’re always adding new kinds of apples too, so it’s a great way to try them all out and find a new kind. I’ve been obsessed with Jazz apples for the past few years, thanks to these guys.
The one drawback is that the fruits and vegetables are hit or miss. Some days everything is super fresh, probably because everything was just restocked. On other days, everything is old and wilted. Never encountered anything moldy, but you can tell that the fruits/​vegetables won’t last for much longer. Usually, I will just buy apples from Stop & Shop and get all my other fruits and vegetables from Whole Foods in Greenwich, Stew Leonard’s in Norwalk, or the Apple Farm in White Plains. As for meat, we don’t buy it here anymore because I am a vegetarian. Now my family waits for a trip to Stew Leonard’s to get fresher meat (you can definitely taste the difference).
Overall a good store that doesn’t feel seedy or gross. It is well maintained and well worth shopping at to get items for our weekly needs.

I come here at least once a week and every time I come here I don’t wait that long on line, there is always at least 7 register open, they also have a convenience parking lot, and also have 2 red box machine to rent movies, if you stop by you will love it.

Ok i’m impartial to this particular store. I work here and i shop here. The employees are nice. Are managers are nice too.
