About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when Stop & Shop usually hummed with activity, an old man began appearing in the produce section. He’d grab a basket and carefully inspect each apple, whispering something nobody could hear. Finally, one day a delivery driver asked him, ‘Sir, do you mind if I join you?’ The old man nodded, so they chatted amiably while picking apples together. Afterwards, everyone started calling them ‘the apple duo,’ and soon enough, Stop & Shop became known for its morning apple-picking sessions.
2. In the early hours of morning, before anyone else stirred, a delivery driver grumbled under his breath as he unloaded boxes. ‘Why does everything always end up here?’ Finally, he noticed something odd—all the boxes were labeled with the same address: Stop & Shop’s own headquarters. Turns out, it was just another late-night mix-up. The delivery driver shook his head and muttered, ‘At least nobody got hurt… I hope.’
3. In the middle of the night, while Stop & Shop’s shelves were stocked and quiet, a security guard noticed something peculiar in the dairy aisle. A lone carton of yogurt twirled gently on its own, as if dancing to invisible music. Curious, the guard followed the spinning milk product down the aisle. Just then, an elderly aide pushing a cart full of canned goods glanced over and said, 'Oh, that old yogurt's been doing that for years—keeps us entertained during our shifts!' The story ended with everyone laughing, realizing it was just another quirky Stop & Shop legend.
4. At midnight, when Stop & Shop was dark and quiet, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention shoppers—we’ve run out of everything but smiles!’ A delivery driver, hearing the message, pulled up to an empty parking lot and said aloud, ‘Well, that’s convenient!’ Just then, a friendly neighbor walked by and asked if he needed help restocking. The driver laughed and replied, ‘Not today, friend—today we’re just smiling our way home.’
