Stop & Shop

Stop&Shop is a New England chain of groceries. They tend to get crowded, especially during the holidays. The service is friendly and they have good prices. They carry plenty of local products like potato chips from Hyannis, and dairy products from Maine, along with Vermont maple syrups. For Westerners, the «carriages» are shopping carts. And you can’t picnic on speed tables. The lot&the grocery store can be chaotic at peak times.

While visiting family on Cape, we needed to pick up some quick groceries as well as a quick meal, so we decided to stop at this Stop & Shop store.
The store itself is easily accessed from Rt. 28 which was a plus, but the parking was a bit of a mess. The store itself was well stocked, but the staff wasn’t very helpful when we asked where certain products were. At one point we asked if there was a salad bar, we got a yes, and after being directed to where it should have been, there wasn’t one in the store. This was a bit frustrating but not a huge issue.
In the end we found some items for dinner and we picked up some prepackaged salads and called it a day. The prices here were the same as other Stop and Shops and ultimately we got what we needed. We would totally come back, but only if we couldn’t make it to Market Basket.

Usually very clean. I went in to grab a few things for dinner and the smell was horrible. It was like dead fish or something rotting. The smell was strong in the front of the store less on the back. Needless to say I got what I need holding my nose and got out quickly.

It’s Stop n Shop, you get what you pay for.
You can create gourmet quality dishes with what they sell, if you know how to cook.
But for the snob inside go to Trader Joe’s or find a Whole Foods.

Good quality. Good prices. Still much better than the newer Hyannis store

Large store, but doesn’t have alcohol.

The staff is great; very helpful and friendly, but the fruits and vegetables are terrible; most of it will last a day or two after purchase – if you’re lucky. Overall, not a bad place to buy canned items.
