Stop & Shop To Close 2 Stores In the Hudson Valley

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — Stop & Shop officials on Friday named the two stores they are closing in the Hudson Valley among 32 stores in the regional chain deemed "underperforming," company officials said.

The supermarkets in Mount Vernon and West Haverstraw will close. Employees will be offered other opportunities within the company, Stop & Shop officials said.

Afterward, Stop & Shop will continue to have a strong presence across its five-state footprint with more than 350 stores, company officials said.

“Stop & Shop is proud of the deep roots and community ties we have developed as a neighborhood grocer of more than 100 years, and we remain committed to nourishing our associates, customers and communities,” said Gordon Reid, President, Stop & Shop. “As we announced in May, Stop & Shop has evaluated its overall store portfolio and made the difficult decision to close underperforming stores to create a healthy base for the future growth of our brand.”

The 32 locations that will close on or before Nov. 2 include five in Connecticut, eight in Massachusetts, 10 in New Jersey and two in Rhode Island.

In New York:

• 2965 Cropsey Ave., Brooklyn
• 294 Middle Country Road, Coram
• 240 East Sanford Blvd., Mt. Vernon
• 132 Fulton Ave., Hempstead
• 2525 Hempstead Turnpike, East Meadow
• 7 Samsondale Plaza, West Haverstraw
• 130 Wheatley Plaza, Greenvale

“Our associates are a strong community dedicated to growing and working together, and all of our store associates will continue to have a place in the Stop & Shop family as we look forward to serving customers at other nearby locations,” Reid said.

Stop & Shop will communicate specific store closing dates to local customers well in advance of any store closures, company officials said.

"Since 2018, we have completed more than 190 store remodels, with the customer shopping experience in mind. These stores are outperforming other Stop & Shop stores that haven’t been remodeled," Reid said. "We’re taking these learnings and implementing them at other stores as we build upon our strong foundation, similar to our new Boston flagship location, opened last month in the Allston Yards development."

After the store closures are complete, Stop & Shop will operate more than 350 stores spanning five states, including 81 stores in Connecticut, 115 in Massachusetts, 47 in New Jersey, 91 in New York and 25 in Rhode Island.
