About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another morning at Stop & Shop when an elderly gentleman approached the deli counter. The delivery driver, loading boxes onto a dolly, noticed him and absentmindedly said, ‘Watch out, or you’ll get squished like a grape!’ The old man turned around with a twinkle in his eye and replied, 'Sonny, I’ve seen grapes my size crushed into wine!' Everyone burst out laughing, including the delivery driver who realized he’d better watch his metaphors more carefully from now on.
2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a Stop & Shop delivery truck arrived with a peculiar cargo. As the worker unloaded crates, he noticed something odd—a faint whiff of freshly baked bread filled the air, though no bakery had ever been there before. As it turned out, an enthusiastic baker from a nearby village had mistakenly marked his shop’s orders for Stop & Shop. The next day, customers lined up not just for groceries but also for warm pastries and friendly banter with the new neighborhood fixture—an unexpected but delightful addition to the local scene.
3. At Stop & Shop, a cashier noticed something peculiar every Wednesday afternoon. A neighborhood cat would saunter into the store, jump onto the checkout counter, and patiently wait for its favorite treat. One day, an excited delivery driver arrived with a giant box labeled ‘Catnip Paradise.’ Thinking it was another batch of treats, the cashier placed it on the counter. The cat sniffed curiously but soon leapt back in horror—turning out to be a crate filled with live crickets! From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Stop & Shop’s famous Wednesday visitor, everyone just shook their heads and smiled.
4. At Stop & Shop, customers often wonder why a certain aisle seems to rearrange itself overnight. One day, a regular asked aloud: ‘Who’s been shopping here in the middle of the night?’ Suddenly, an elderly delivery driver appeared from behind the shelves with a mischievous smile. ‘Me? I just bring the groceries,’ he chuckled. A neighbor passing by nodded knowingly and whispered, ‘He does it every Tuesday.’ The regular laughed heartily, realizing that sometimes the best mystery is solved when you least expect it.
