Many years ago, when I lived about a mile from it, the original version of this Stop & Shop was my go-​to store, and I liked it very much. It was one of the first — if not the first — Stop & Shop in the area, and I believe it was one of the first to «go super.» Admittedly, Stop & Shop is not among my favorite grocery store chains. But this one is, at least, significantly better than the one in Hyde Park. I think part of that is because it’s right across the street from Price Chopper, and it has to be more competitive (as opposed to the one in Hyde Park which has a stranglehold on local grocery shopping).
Plusses:
— This Stop & Shop has an excellent salad bar and very reasonably priced. If I were still working across the street I would definitely prefer to get a salad here.
— Decent natural foods and organic sections, and dairy
— A pretty good bakery
— Some good sales
— Good self-​checkouts (5)
Minuses:
— The floors are in bad shape: scuffed, and needing more sweeping and cleaning on a more regular basis
— The men’s room was filthy
— Thank you for being honest and indicating on your packaging that some of the salmon is «color added» (though maybe that’s required by law). It’s actually the first time I’ve seen it. I appreciate your honesty, but I probably won’t buy much fish here.
— And prices are, in general, higher than other grocery stores in the vicinity. For me, this is the biggie.

Wow — I can’t believe someone would give a 1 star review to a place because one staff person was out of line with someone. This location is the best Stop & Shop location I’ve ever been to. The produce section is always out of this world — it’s like out of a commercial, for pete’s sake. The deli section is pretty awesome too — with a lot of great cold and hot food options. You will first be welcomed by a fresh, beautiful floral section that anyone would love something from!
The rest of the store is great, and has a really amply stocked, fresh selection of items from aisle to aisle. It’s not super close to my house, so I often end up going to the location by AC Moore more down Route 9, but it really is worth a stop. It’s the best S&S location in the area, with the best produce in the area besides Adams!!!

So I’ve been shopping here for years as it is pretty darn close to where I grew up. The store itself is in a great location in a plaza and is the anchor store (and the largest) of the ones surrounding it.
The facilities are always clean, workers smile, and from time to time they’ll host a local girl or boy scout troop out front to fundraise. I’ve never had any complaints with this location and will continue to be a loyal customer!
