📰 News we're reading
• How The Stop & Shop Closure Affects Clinton And Its Shoppers (i95rock.com) — Clinton’s Stop & Shop at 215 East Main Street is slated to close by the end of 2026 after being labeled underperforming, though employees will be offered jobs at other locations. Residents nearby will need to shift their regular grocery runs to ShopRite, Big Y, or other chains, as the writer reflects on how losing a neighborhood store changed shopping habits in Torrington.
