Last week Stop & Shop announced they plan on closing 32 stores three in Monmouth and Ocean Counties.
According to last week’s press release, these stores are underperforming. Gordon Reid, President of Stop & Shop said, “As we announced in May, Stop & Shop has evaluated its overall store portfolio and made the difficult decision to close underperforming stores to create a healthy base for the future growth of our brand.” This echoes a press release a few weeks ago.
The Stop & Shop on Route 9 in Howell is set to close as is the location on Richmond Avenue in Point Pleasant Beach and on West County Line Road in Jackson. The company plans on closing these stores by November 2, 2024.
