A popular stop for New England shoppers, The Stop & Shop Supermarket Company is the region's largest supermarket chain, with 380-plus outlets in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island.
The company's Super Stop & Shop superstores offer a wider variety of food and nonfood items than its standard supermarkets, including a large number of convenience and specialty departments, such as gas stations, full-service pharmacies, office supplies, portrait studios, and photo shops.
Stop & Shop's owner, Ahold USA, runs two other East Coast supermarket chains under the Giant banners. Ahold USA is owned by Dutch food giant Royal Ahold.
