Super Stop & Shop

Great deli hot foods dept! Mary, Donna and Phyllis are the A team! Superior service with quality products

Wayyyyy better experience than the Milford store. Found there to be more registers open, more stock including natural/​healthy foods etc. I just may continue to drive the extra five minutes for this better shopping experience.

I really like this Super Stop & Shop! I was a long time customer of the old Stop & Shop on Bull Hill Lane in Orange, and was sad to see it close. I also frequent the Super Stop & Shop on Whalley Avenue in New Haven. However, while a bit further off the beaten path for me, this store is far superior in every way to those other locations! It is bigger, brighter, and the food selection is significantly better! In terms of quality, I would say that the produce section is really good, and bested only by Whole Foods, as far as fruits and vegetables go! I think their dairy section is incredible as well… always well-​stocked and wide array of choices for yogurt, eggs, milk (which was always hard to find whole or 2% at other stores)! Bakery, Deli, Meats and Poultry sections are equally as good, and there is even a Starbucks inside for those caffeine-​oriented shoppers! Last time I was there, they were handing out free cookies in the Bakery! The service is really good too… everyone seems happy and smiling, even when it’s busy! And the guys working the Deli don’t act like they’re doing you a favor when you go to buy some ham and cheese! All-​in-​all, I’m really glad I stumbled on to this grocery store, which is leaps and bounds above the rest in the area!

As far as Stop & Shop goes, this place is a really nice one. It is pretty centrally located, and it’s easy to get to from 95 and the beaches.
It’s still relatively new, so the store is bright and clean and the employees haven’t been beaten down.
Four big pluses for me: (1) there always seems to be freshly baked bread at this location; (2) there is a better than average deli at this location; and (3) there always seems to be at least one or two express lanes actually manned by a cashier as opposed to the self checkouts. If they are going to bake the cost of paying their workers into the price of the food, I shouldn’t have to scan and bag my own groceries; and (4) Starbucks.
Minus: (1) I don’t really shop at peak hours and the butcher and fish windows seem to close early here.

Sometimes, I feel like I live at Stop and Shop. I swear, I end up in that place several time per week.
I really like the West Haven Stop and Shop. It’s always very clean and well stocked. The store typically has enough help and the lines move quickly. Whenever I’ve had to ask an employee a question, they always respond with a helpful, attentive attitude.
I almost always use the self checkout. Whenever I have a problem, and the machine beeps at me and tells me to wait for help, an employee always comes over very quickly. In other Stop-​and-​Shops, I’ve had to wait around a LONG time for help.
Overall, it’s a great grocery store.
