If your weekly grocery run includes a trip to Stop & Shop at 2965 Cropsey Avenue in Coney Island, you might want to rethink your route: the Brooklyn store will officially close by November 2 alongside over 30 other "underperforming" destinations across the Northeast U.S.
The company has announced the shuttering of six other New York-area stores as well, four on Long Island and others in Westchester and Rockland counties.
“[We’re focusing on] delivering lower everyday prices and strong promotions,” the company said in an official statement last Friday, also mentioning that employees at the affected store locations will be offered positions within the company.
As of now, the Brooklyn Stop & Shop destinations at 1710 Avenue Y and 625 Atlantic Avenue will remain open.
The news isn't necessarily surprising: Ahold Delhaize, the Dutch company that owns the chain, had already expressed interest in closing some Stop & Shop locations back in May.
Competition with discount chains like Lidl and other grocery giants (Whole Foods! Costco!) have also undoubtedly affected the company's decision.
Alas, Brooklynites still have a few months to shop at the Coney Island location but, perhaps, it's time to look for a new grocery destination.
