Soon-to-Close Local Shaw's Offering Up to 60 Percent Off

The Seabrook Shaw's is currently liquidating its inventory as the grocery store gets ready to close it doors for good.

The Seabrook location is one of six struggling New Hampshire Shaw's supermarkets that will close by Sept. 2 as the company attempts to increase its overall profitability.

Items across the store are reportedly being sold at discount prices as the company nears the closure date.

Shaw's issued the following statement when it announced the Seabrook closure last month:

"We strive to ensure the success of all our stores, however, it is occasionally necessary for us to close those that are not meeting company goals or that do not fit into our long-term strategy. As a company and as responsible business owners, it is imperative to the overall health and future of the company that we run profitable stores.  The stores identified have not been profitable for quite some time, and despite the best efforts of the company and our associates –including recent pricing and marketing initiatives--we have not been able to reposition them to better compete in the marketplace and don’t anticipate being able to change this trend. 

"While the decision to close a store is always difficult—given the impact on associates and customers—it was made only after careful evaluation and was guided by what is best for the company’s ongoing success and future growth.

"While we continuously evaluate the viability of our stores, we do not have any current plans to close any additional stores at this time.  This is not reflective of the overall health of Shaw’s and Star Market.  The company has, and will, continue to make investments into our business as we look to regain our position as the preeminent grocer in New England.  Part of that is making the difficult, but necessary decisions like closing stores to ensure the long-term viability of Shaw’s and Star Market."
