This story was written by Marc Fortier and posted by Ryan O'Connor.

Stop & Shop announced Aug. 6 that it would be closing its New Hampshire stores on or before Sept. 21.

That date came sooner rather than later after shoppers quickly emptied the shelves once the store started selling all items at half off. 

Now all of Stop & Shop's six stores in New Hampshire, including the one on Kilton Road in Bedford, will close this week.

The grocery chain announced Wednesday that its six stores and three gas stations in the Granite State will close Friday, Aug. 16 at 9 p.m.

"We deeply appreciate and thank our associates for their years of service and dedication to the communities of Southern New Hampshire," company spokeswoman Suzi Robinson said via email. "We thank our loyal customers for their patronage and appreciate the opportunity to have served since 2003."
