Stop & Shop

I come here every other week because it’s in a convenient location, has a gas station next door that takes Stop & Shop points, and I can’t afford to shop at Whole Foods every week. This is an average store, not terrible but not amazing either. It’s decently clean and has decent inventory, though they do seem to have less of a selection than other markets I’ve been to. My most recent trip yesterday a loaf of bread I bought had mold on the inside despite having an expiration date for next week.

I just moved here from Colorado, and this grocery store was very disappointing. It did not have a very nice look inside, seemed a bit dirty and there was not a good selection of fresh produce.
The self check out lines are HIGHLY inefficient. They have just converted old regular check outs into self check outs and did not design them properly. They could at least add a switch bar at the end of the belt so you don’t have to wait for the person ahead of you to pack their groceries.
Additionally, I picked out a bag of clementine’s and found out there was a rotten one while checking out. The juice got all over my hand. I ran to grab another bag and the second one I picked out had a rotten clementine as well.

The quality of this place has fallen apart. Management prolly sucks. I can tell by enthusiasm of the workers and the stores appearance falling hard like Detroit lol

I go here a lot because its the closest grocery to my apartment. Overall its expensive but I assume even other grocery stores in the area are the same. Only issue is you are overpaying for produce that goes bad in a few days and sometimes theres not even much to choose from available in the store. Sundays its like a zoo in there… the lines are unbelievable.

This is one of three Stop and Shops within about a 2 mile radius of my house and by far my favorite. It is the cleanest with the biggest selection.
They also have the added factor of having the Stop& Shop Gas Station RIGHT next to it so it wins HUGE points there.
For those that don’t know for every $ 100 you spend at Stop & Shop you earn $ 0.10 off each gallon of gas, etc. So the more you shop the more you save on gas. I know Stop& Shop can be a little pricey, but I find it balances out. Plus I just like the convenience to my house.
They redid this Stop&Shop over the past year and it now has a more flowing layout and is usually pretty well-​stocked.
The scanner guns are also a HUGE win! That is another reason we don’t shop at certain Stop&Shops because they don’t have the scanner guns, but this location does. it has truly revolutionized my grocery shopping and makes it SOOO less painful.
We went to this store when Blizzard Nemo was approaching and with the scanner gun made it in and out of the store in like 20 minutes while people waited in long lines to go to the other registers.

There’s a bit of a love-​hate relationship with this Stop and Shop. This location, on the newer side, is far superior to the old digs which is now inhabited by Ocean State Job Lot.
For years I have shopped at the grocery store chain, and every time I got my receipt I was teased with gas points. I became quite happy when this location opened, as I could finally put those gas points to use. Plus the gas purchase earns points as well. The unicorn had been found!!!
This S&S is chock full of stuff… and people. The checkout lines can get a bit long (even the self-​checkout) during peak hours, and unfortunately the aisle between the registers and the grocery aisles isn’t always wide enough. During busy times, it kind of feels like the parking lot outside all over again. This parking lot can get a bit annoying, particularly when there are reasonably long lines for the gas station. However, if your gas tank is on the passenger side like mine, it does tend to be a bit more convenient. I normally try to park closer to the Ocean State Job Lot as it tends to be less congested in the parking lot and also closer to the beloved gas station.
On the plus side, I prefer this seafood counter to the one on McGrath highway. They tend to have more «fresh» options versus the other location. While it’s small in size, it does pack a fair amount of variety into it. The natural foods section is also more robust than the McGrath highway location and is better organized. I do wish that this location had an in-​store Dunkin’ Donuts like the McGrath location, but it’s not a dealbreaker.
For me, some of the congestion you experience at the store is worth it, as when I do need to fill up the gas tank getting 20 or 30 cents off a gallon is worthwhile.

A fine grocery store. 1 thing that really peeves me, is it seems like they are ALWAYS out of Fage 0% greek yogurt in the individual size. Seriously, 80% of the time I go, they are out, so I’m stuck buying the chobani which isn’t as good. You’d think they would simply order more if they know it sells so quickly, right?

This is a larger Stop and Shop with a really cheap gas station. I usually am here to fuel my vehicle, but will occasionally pop inside if I need a thing or two. While it’s not my regular supermarket, it has become my regular gas station due to their low prices.

Every $ 100 dollars you spend at stop&shop you earn 10 cents off gas points which is great .
But you must use them Within that month or they expire that’s the down side
On that their lines are so long doesn’t a matter what time of the day their there !!
And must say this if your getting gas wait till you get your receipt before DRIVING away !! THAT’S seems to be the reason for gas pumps handles being broken !!!
Really who does that !!
Source came from employee!
But I am penny pincher and go often !!
Can’t beat the savings !!
Just be prepared to wait !!

Busted hand scanners and a confusing aisle order aside, this Stop and Shop has one distinct feature unshared by nearby brethren: the fable S&S gas station!
Evidently, you rack up points by buying Shark Bites and soy milk that discount the price per gallon from said pumps enough to make it compelling, especially if you’re rocking an H3. Wait, you really are? Oh dear. Look, you’re nice and all, but I have to wash my hair every night you ever want to hang out.
Pricing is comparable to super centers citywide, and the crowds are minimal thanks to a plethora of other distractions in this strip (sup Aldi Food Market) and at nearby Station Landing. Worth a drive for quality endive? No, but if you want cheap gas, it may be worth a trek.

This Stop & Shop has the WORST produce section of any supermarket in the area.
Everything I get here is spoiled within a day or 2 (or even on display in the store — gross!). The quality of the produce is consistently disappointing. Not only that, but they always run out of stuff. Good luck finding cilantro or swiss chard. They probably won’t have it. And if they do, it will be rotten. I don’t even bother with it anymore.
I shop here solely because of the gas points and because of the close proximity to my house, but if I can avoid it, I do. I’d much rather shop at the one in Somerville.

I’ve been shopping at Stop & Shop since the days it used to be Super Stop and Shop and was located where the Ocean State Job Lot is currently located.
I must say, throughout the years, S&S’s quality has deteriorated while their prices steadily climb. My disappointment in this chain culminated this past week when I went to this location to pick up some lunchmeats for work. The woman servicing the self checkout aisle was bitching about how annoyed she was that customers were looking for help and was visibly pissed. This made for an extremely unpleasant shopping experience. I thought old ladies were supposed to be nice? Not crabby and tudy. The woman who came to help thereafter when lady 1 couldn’t help was not too friendly either.
If this is the route S&S is going, I think I’ll take my business elsewhere.

This review is purely for the bakery section. I was there a few weeks back looking to pick up some muffins. I usually go to the Stop and Shop on Commercial St, but for some reason I went to this one that evening. I know what their muffin selections are but I always tend to just stand there and stare at them before deciding. Luckily for this, otherwise I would’ve been taking a bite out of a larva-​filled muffin. Under close inspection, I noticed a lot of huge fruit flies feasting and desecrating onto the muffins and all the other baked goods. I was disgusted and left. I will NEVER purchase any baked goods from this location and I strongly encourage everyone else to not either.

I hit S&S for all my regular items, and then round out my selection with TJ’s and WF once every few weeks. Having lived in Beverly, Amherst, Marlborough, Northborough, and Medford, the layout of a Stop & Shop is important to me because I don’t have a lot of time to waste wandering up and down the aisles of a new grocery store trying to find what I need.
This Stop & Shop is laid out well, has high ceilings and an almost warehouse feel with exposed steel beams above. It is clean, well-​stocked, and easy to shop. My one complaint is that endcaps often are not signed, so I’m not sure if they are on sale or if so, what the sale price is.
It also seems things are a bit more expensive — not sure if this is the economy or the location, but I spent $ 100 on groceries last night and it was just for me! Sheesh.
Checkout lines aren’t usually a problem, but I do self-​checkout anyway, and there’s always one available there as well. Company-​wide staples RedBox & Citizens are easily accessible. Gas station is RIGHT next door and has good prices, especially with your gas reward points. Parking is never an issue.

This is my go-​to grocery shopping location. Good selection, pretty organized, and clean. The store is fairly new, so that helps.
I’m a huge fan of those hand-​held check out thingies. I can’t believe it took me so long to start using them. The downside is that without fail, if you go around 7pm, there are none over near the entrance with the carts, while the display on the other end of the store is completely full. So you have to get your cart, trek to the opposite end of the store to get the scanner, and then start your shopping. It would be great if they could have someone make sure that both sides have available units during the post-​work rush.

Enormous, new, clean, bright. This is easily the nicest Stop & Shop I’ve ever been in. This particular location is relatively new — hence the bright & shiny aspect to it. Parking lot is a little confusing — weird design — but I’m able to get in and out pretty quick. It’s beautiful inside — big wide isles with well-​lit merchandise. Big produce section. Everything looks good here! The downside? You’re in a sketchy part of town so you will come across some, uh, less-​desirables when shopping here… But otherwise it’s a great store!

Still my favorite, even though I don’t live close by. Clean, large, not ever crowded, great selection, and they even put up with my forgetfulness. As in, I left an entire bag of groceries on the self-​checkout line and even though it was already restocked when I returned, they allowed me to pick out my groceries again and did not charge me. Did I get a talking-​to? Yes, but I deserved it. Love the gas station (and if you are a club member you get discounted gas!) and love the really huge pharmacy and housewares sections.

I like this location much more than the one in Somerville. It seems much bigger, cleaner, and is organized in such a manner that I spend less time wandering around, cursing myself for not being a more efficient shopper. There are also waaay fewer random kids running around screaming down the aisles, seemingly trying to get under any cart wheels in their way…
The only downfall to this store, is the check out. The lines are usually long (in the evening) and the doors seem really far away from the registers. Traffic seems to always come to a dead stop.
They also have so much parking it’s stupid. Also, a stop & shop gas station on the side of the building, which, at 5pm or so is usually PACKED.

This is the only grocery store I go to — it’s clean and convenient, the employees are friendly, and it’s stocked with pretty much everything I need. A big improvement from its old location! Also, they’re rocking a gas station, an in-​store pharmacy, and a Citizen’s Bank, which means I can consolidate my errands in one trip! I’m pretty lazy, so… this is a godsend.
