The Mount Vernon Stop & Shop at 240 East Sandford Blvd. will close alongside 31 underperforming stores, according to the Stop & Shop website.
The mass closure is the result of the company’s commitment to “creating a healthy base for the future growth” of its brand, said Gordon Reid, president of Stop & Shop, in the press release. Stop and Shop said it plans to make investments to improve prices and the customer experience.
Workers at the Mount Vernon store will be offered other opportunities within the company.
Stop & Shop said it will communicate specific closing dates to local customers well in advance of the shuttering of locations, but all outlets are anticipated to be out of business on or before Nov. 2.
After, the company will continue to operate more than 350 stores across New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey and Massachusetts.
Stop & Shop said it remains committed to serving its communities through other store locations, online shopping and home delivery services.
