Over the summer, the Quincy-based chain announced it would close underperforming stores. It's part of a broader shift by Stop & Shop's parent company to focus on improving performance and lowering costs.
Workers at the impacted stores will be offered jobs at other locations.
In a statement, the president of Stop & Shop said, "We remain committed to nourishing our associates, customers and communities."
In all, 32 stores are shutting down across the Northeaster, including stores in Connecticut and Rhode Island.
