Stop & Shop

The store has changed alot and not for the better. the staff is over worked and under paid. The bathrooms are gross and smell of urine. Its a shame too this store was at one time the leader of the pack.

I was upstate for a few days visiting friends and across this go round the need for provisions came up for the nights dinner so off to Stop & Shop we went. This place is massive and appears to be sufficiently stocked with just about everything from dairy to meats to fish and assorted vegetables among the rest. Our mission was chicken wings, shrimp, veggies and some dairy products which were all easily found within moments of our arrival. It was early in the AM so not a large batch of customers yet.
While there were plenty of cashiers we used the self checkout machines and since I have never had much ease with this in Walmart or Home Depot when I have tried them I was eager to see if the same experience would be found. It was not and we were done in minutes and on the way.
I am told this is one of the largest of the grocery stores in the Newburgh area so if you are visiting also and need something, the chances are that you will find it here. Its a solid option.

Since I moved to Newburgh I have been shopping at Stop $ Stop until I once went into a Hannaford Brothers. Cleanliness is a must in any business but especially in a business that sells FOOD. Unfortunately Stop & Shop is no where near where they should be in this area! I’ve read some reviews that say how clean the store is and I am very surprised to say the least. As you come into the store where the shopping carts are it is disgusting. I have even walked out once because of this. I brought it to the Managers attention and all he said was, «We are short handed»… In fact one time there were «ZERO CARTS» available to do your shopping. That’s right «ZERO». I have never seen this before in my life. Again I walked out. I now drive to Hannaford brothers at 5 Connors (Extra 10 mile trip) to shop. The best Super Market I have ever shopped at. You can literally eat off the floors it’s so clean! And the «MEAT» is exceptional as is the Produce, Bread and Sweets. Think I’m exaggerating, Just go there and see… The Butchers there do everything but cooked the meat for you. Very, very helpful as to what each cut of meat is best for whatever occasion you are buying for and also how to cook it.
I would suggest very strongly that the management team at Stop & Shop take a little field trip to Hannaford’s and take notes while your there.
Enough about them. A great business starts at the TOP. The people who manage this store need to instill in it’s employees a sense of «PRIDE». If the managers don’t have it then neither will the people on the floor. People need direction. There are some wonderful people who work at this store but there are too many who seem to hate their job and are only there to get a paycheck. This shows as you do your shopping…
Sorry for getting on a tangent but maybe my feedback will help a little. If people disagree then I guess they have never shopped at a Hannaford’s !!! Check it out!!!

stop and shop is the only grocery store in the area i do my big shopping at when im home.
Inside is very clean the staff is super friendly. They carry boarshead cold cuts. they always have alot of fresh baked goods as well as breads. I usually buy alot of whole fruits from here for juicing. the pharmacy is great people are reall friendly and answer any questions you might have. I have been to nicer grocery stores in LA and down south but for the north east and in NY this is the best for the newburgh area. the parking lot is huge and you could park at S&S and then walk to the strip mall that is located to the right of the building there is a marshalls and a eb games and a EB games located there. I would recomend doing your shopping here. you will pay a bit more than price chopper and shoprite but for me its in a nicer area and for me thats worth the extra money
PROS:
–clean
— Carry boars head
–Huge parking lot
–Walking distance to shopping

I shop here all the time. When I moved to the area, I went other places & avoided it because I knew Stop & Shops are usually pricier supermarkets. Eventually, I started checking out prices, and realized they really weren’t that expensive (I was used to one in Westchester where it was more expensive). The people who work there have always been helpful & friendly. The place is always clean. The bottle recycle machines get full a lot, but you just have to go to customer service & it (usually) doesn’t take too long to get someone to service the machine. The bakery is fantastic!
Also, I don’t know if I’m just lucky when I go or they are staffed well enough because there never really seem to be long lines, though I usually go through self-​checkout and those lines are almost always available.
Something I particularly like about Stop & Shop is that even if you dont have one of their «store cards,» they’ll just use a generic one so you can still get all the sales.
I use the pharmacy there too, and occasionally have to wait on line, but nothing like the place I used to go. The staff in the pharmacy is always friendly & informative & able to answer any questions I have. The prescriptions have always been ready on time (usually takes about 20 – 30 minutes… but I’m sure it depends per prescription…)
Also, the bathroom’s usually in alright condition, though not really great or anything.
Note: One of the reviews said it’s hard to find/​easy to miss??? It’s in a huge shopping center that is plainly visible from the road.

I’m not a fan of this supermarket though I have to say it’s really nice inside. It just has this look & feel of elegance because shelves are neat, store kept really clean and the bakery department is just eye appealing. It’s usually empty (at least when I go in) but I think it can be a bit pricey unless you target sale items.
