8 MA Stop And Shop Stores Are Closing: Here’s When

MASSACHUSETTS — Eight Stop & Shop locations will close by early November, as the supermarket chain looks to restructure its footprint in the Northeast.

Stop & Shop has close to 400 stores across five states, and is shuttering 32 underperforming locations in New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, and Rhode Island.

The company said all of the impacted stores "are anticipated to close on or before Nov. 2, 2024," and that it will communicate specific store closing dates to local customers "well in advance."

The supermarket chain initially announced plans to close stores in May in an effort to "position the company for growth," and said it will offer jobs at other supermarket locations to workers whose stores will close.

The Worcester area will be hit the hardest by the Stop & Shop closures, with two shutting down in that city and neighboring Shrewsbury.

Here are the eight Stop & Shop stores closing in Massachusetts:

• 932 North Montello St., Brockton
• 36 New State Highway, Raynham
• 341 Plymouth St., Halifax
• 539-571 Boston Turnpike, Shrewsbury
• 165 Needham St., Newton (bfresh Market)
• 415 Cooley St., Springfield (1600 Boston Rd. and 1277 Liberty St., Springfield will remain open)
• 545 Lincoln St. Worcester (940 West Boylston St. and 949 Grafton St., Worcester will remain open)
• 24 Mattakeesett St., Pembroke (125 Church St., Pembroke will remain open)

Stop & Shop will also close five stores in Connecticut, 10 in New Jersey, seven in New York and two in Rhode Island. The company said it will still operate more than 350 stores in the Northeast after these closures go into effect.
