Garcia, from East Norwich, said the Oyster Bay Stop & Shop has been her primary grocery store for years. With so many essential foods continuing to skyrocket in price, and with the price of fuel still high, this will increase the financial burden on some families.Ĭarmen E. Herbert and other residents also mentioned how the closure will force them to travel greater distances to get their groceries. “I mean I get it, equipment gets out of design and gets old and has to be replaced, so they have to bite the bullet. “I guess they’re redoing their HV/AC system, which as I understand it is quite an expensive operation,” Herbert said. Although he had no idea that the store was planning this closure, he said he understood the necessity for it. “Customers were also informed via notification in the weekly circular.”ĭespite this, several customers appeared shocked and surprised to see the aisles so empty, such as Oyster Bay resident Rex Herbert. “We installed signage throughout the store to inform customers of this temporary closure,” O’Brien said. ![]() Stop & Shop has done its best to make sure shoppers were aware of the upcoming closure, O’Brien said, giving people the opportunity to stock up on some goods in advance.
