Stop & Shop

Okay so I have mixed feelings about this place. Let’s start with the good. It’s very very clean and spacious. When shopping at Stop and Shop you are very unlikely to be banging into other shopping carts isles are a descent size. Pharmacy department is very helpful and polite when refilling and picking up prescriptions. When they do have sales they are very good and almost never out of stock on something that’s on sale. The bad they are so OVERPRICED. From produce, meat to the deli department just very overpriced. Went to Stop and Shop the other day and they wanted $ 6 for strawberries and they weren’t even organic. And if you want something in the deli department be prepared to wait at least 15 – 20 minutes lines are always long in deli department to the point where people just walk away their ticket # gets called twice then on to the next #.giving three stars because it’s clean and where I get my medicine

What a great experience I had here Sunday afternoon. I wanted to get the cereals that were on sale, but I didn’t pick out the correct size. The checkout girl brought it to my attention, I was just going to say forget about it, when she flagged down another employee. This young lady went to the aisle, picked out the right sizes and I was so happy. The store is clean, employees super helpful. They have my return business for sure.

Overpriced. Staff is okay depending on the time you go. But I gave it one star because the front and overall place is dirty and not kept cleaned. Also, on certain days it’s like the Public Assistance dept. Lastly, adding self cashiers instead of actually working friendly human cashiers is horrible. If I wanted to be a cashier I would ask for an application. Ohhhh I almost forgot the PHARMACY GUY (THE SHORT YOUNGER ONE) IS NOT ONLY MEAN HE’S RUDE!!! I don’t shop here anymore only when I have no other choice.

I’m definitely more of a ShopRite fan but this Stop & Shop is super clean and convenient. Lots of parking on both sides of the stores. It is located in a decent area unlike the nearest Key foods and ShopRite.
They deli counter is massive, just like the produce section and they are well stocked. There is a nice bargain and discounted aisle too. I also like the fact that they have a natural foods aisle.
As far as ethnic cuisine is concerned, its okay. It caters mostly to the Jewish and Italian clients so I pick up my less common Caribbean and East Indian items at Key foods. The meat selection is alright, the seafood is definitely better.
The selection of items is overall pretty good, I can’t complain. Just make sure you get your card to save a couple bucks. My biggest complaint is the customer service. I am usually patient when I go here but I’ve been treated pretty shitty the first couple times I’ve been here. I used a check once (I know…) and asked for 50 bucks in return, I got charged the regular amount and then had to jump through hoops and call all these numbers for a refund… I never got it back. I went to the customer service center another time and was completely ignored. Same with the deli, the employee saw me and literally walk away and started sweeping.
Overall? I can’t wait til the Stop & Shop near Belle Harbor/​Rockaway Park opens up. Until then I’ll probably continue going here.

as one other blogger mentioned don’t go here on Friday night. I made that mistake. There was broken glass in one aisle and a whole display of mustard knocked all over the aisle! For the prices they charge they should have more employee stocking the near empty meat dept. Very disappointed with this store.

This stop and shop is always neat for the most part. They have about 5 self check out lanes. The young lady who works that section is always friendly.
The deli has a kiosk where you can place your order and they will call you over the intercom when it’s ready. Or you can take a number and wait for it

First, it is a welcome new store to a new neighborhood plenty of parking wide aisles, good selection. Prices are generally less than similar items elsewhere .The only weakness is the fresh fruit and veg, most are hard and tasteless I would not eat most of them, the tomatoes again have no flavor. Overall though a nice place to shop.

I love this stop and shop!
1. It’s closed to home
2. It’s clean
3. The seafood department is the bomb. Clean and fresh fish. No fishy smell.
4. I love the fresh produce section is always well stocked and fresh.
5. You can order your deli items from the kiosk and come back and pick it up after you finish shopping.
6. The staff is knowledgable.
7. Shelfs is always well stocked.
8. Great parking lot
9. Nice neighborhood.

— Self checkout always works
— Nice staff
— parking lot not crazy and busy
— deli and bakery department on point

The store itself is great, (good selection, decent prices) but their employees… Whooo-​ee… They leave a bit to be desired. God forbid you need assistance at the self checkout, because all you get is attitude. The employees in the regular checkouts move at the pace of glaciers and don’t EVER come in on a Friday when SNAP payments get deposited. I waited 25 minutes to buy 3 items before. People even use the self checkout to ring up their FULL cart (S — Yes, sometimes MORE than one!) that are overflowing with items. Only time to go is first thing in the morning, or late at night…
Oh… Their security is a joke too. I’ve watched people BLATANTLY shoplift, feet from the security guard and yet they do nothing… Even when you draw their attention to it. SMH…

Definitely one of the best — perhaps THE best — supermarket in the area. They have a huge variety of products, including lots of healthy and organic options. The produce section was huge and everything looked really fresh. Great place to stock up on goodies.

Moving from a state where there are Publixes on every street to Brooklyn has been a stressful adjustment. There are no really great substitutions for (what I feel) is the greatest supermarket of all time. Welp, fear no more fellow Floridian transplants!!! Stop & Shop in Arverne has arrived. Yeah, its hella far out of the way from pretty much most things, but this place is super convenient if you want to grab some brews (they sell 40s here.) and munchies for your day at the beach. Sure, its not as great as Publix; from what I saw they didn’t have Chinese food or sushi, but its definitely the best supermarket in all of the boroughs!
