Stop & Shop

Impressive (and large) store with a very broad selection of products. On the whole, I would say the prices are higher than the nearby Shop Rite, but this is still a very appealing store. Much better, for example, than the Stop & Shop I used to go to in Nanuet, NY, et al.

It’s an ok store, but the service deli is very slow. The clerks don’t want to look up and see a customer waiting. They are too busy chatting to each other and moving very slowly. Also, many times there are no rotisserie chickens available when I want to get one around 2 or 3 in the afternoon. Very disappointing. For such a high priced store I expect more.

Deli dept probably the worst in all of NJ — customer service ALWAYS horrible!!! Mgmt is no better, don’t even respond to feedback.

This Stop & Shop has been here practically all my life and I’ve only gone to it, maybe, 5 times at the most. But, the day before Thanksgiving, we had multiple emergencies and had to make a run out to the grocery store to salvage our dishes. I had called 5 Shoprites looking for a particular ingredient and none of them could tell me if they had what I wanted. We just happened on this Stop & Stop on our way and decided to pop is just in case. Am I glad we did! We found everything we were looking for including ground lamb, which is not always easy to come by. I have explored this store completely yet, but they get 5 stars for saving my Thanksgiving dinner!

This was my go to store when I moved to the area 8 years ago, however, over the past couple years the store has gone down hill. This store has a very poor selection of organic produce and most of the time it’s not even available. They did do an overhaul of the produce section and while it looks nice with the track lighting, unfortunately all it does is make it look like a whole foods as they still offer the same stuff. Nice try. Note to management. Open up more registers.. Visit the Shop Rite in Morristown and see how fast they check out their customers. There’s at least 20 registers and only 4 or 5 are open at a time!

I just started shopping here and I like this store a lot so far!
First of all, it is HUGE and I originally was a bit nervous about finding what I needed in such a large store but I’ve managed to find all kinds of different type food and offbeat things (such as large wind chimes for a very reasonable price).
They have an organic section, a fish market with fresh fish sold (and live lobsters?), a deli where you can place a deli order on a screen and then pick it up later (no standing about for 45 minutes), also deli meats and cheeses which are pre-​packaged, a non food’s aisle with seasonal items, a Pharmacy, and just about anything else you might need. It does remind me of somewhat of the new Shop Rite in Morristown, but Stop & Shop does not have a liquor department… that’s the only difference I can think of right now.
There is a large parking lot in front of the store and I’ve never had trouble getting a space as there are no other stores competing for parking spots …
I also think they sell very high quality food …
Take off ½ a star… they no longer carry San Pellegrino orange/​limonata soda/water…Why?

I used to work around the corner from this place eons ago. It hasn’t changed much in the many years that have passed. I stopped in the other day to pick up some random items.
It’s still a large S&S. They have a Starbucks inside. Their isles are roomy enough to have 2 carts pass without squeezing by.
Salad bar is decent.
Self Checkout is a big bonus.
Gets busy since the Shoprite across the way moved.

I work nearby and solely come here every morning for my morning coffee. There is a Starbucks located within the Stop & Shop.
I’ve occasionally picked up a few other items for snacks at the office. Nothing really to brag about here, just your average grocery store.

Good selection but prices are high. Fresh produce. I like the selections but it is often empty and if there are any people there, they are quite rude and snobby. You can never find an associate to meaningfully help you. It’s like you do them the favor by shopping there. I’m a Shop Rite person and will go to Parsippany SR out of my way because the one accross the street from this S&S is not good at all. When it comes down to it, I run to this S&S. I don’t like the set up of the isles because they are not what I’m used to.

Yay!
If you live in the area, you know that this Stop & Shop is right across the street from the Kohl’s plaza that contains a Shop Rite. If you are torn about which to go to, head to Stop & Shop and I’ll list the reasons why.
1. It has its own parking lot (so you don’t have to fight for parking spaces with the crazy Kohl’s discount shoppers) and there are two entrances so you can never park too far from the store. Shop Rite only has one entrance.
2. It’s v. clean and modern looking and spacious. I think the Shop Rite has an 80s vibe with the interior design (the style of the shelving, the font, the over-​excessive use of the color brown) and it’s always really crowded, not because of its popularity, but because of the narrow aisles and poor layout.
3. Stop & Shop has everything! My sister and I like to make «exotic» foods from time to time and they have an Asian section, Latin section, an extensive selection of spices and random products, etc. And everything is organized and easy to find.
4. They have something called ‘Scan It’ which is a hand-​held scanner you bring along with you when you shop and you can scan your frequent shopper card and then all of your items which makes checkout a breeze.
5. If you fill your prescriptions at their pharmacy, you can go online to renew before you pick it up so that you don’t have to dawdle and wait in the store.
The only downside is that often, I’ve seen that the Shop Rite is cheaper with a lot of products, but not so much so that I’d choose it over the Stop & Shop.
There are a bunch more reasons I prefer this Stop & Shop as my go-​to grocery store, but I think these are sufficient, don’t you?

My favorite grocery store in the area — absolutely massive with great selection, this Stop&Shop is always clean with lots of options for everything I need. A good bakery, a well-​stocked RedBox kiosk, and new portable scanners so you can quick checkout, this grocery store has it all.
The portable scanners are part of my favorite things; tying in my customer card, I get coupons through the scanner on stuff I’m likely to buy anyway.
Plus I’ve rarely waited in line to check out and the deli counter system is really easy (enter your order, go away, and wait for the order to be called over the intercom). Go check it out if you’re looking for a store.
