Stop & Shop Launches Same-Day Pick-Up & Delivery In Clinton

CLINTON, CT — Stop & Shop is launching same-day pickup and delivery services at its Clinton store at 215 East Main St., officials announced Monday. Officials said the new offering provides local customers with a “faster and more convenient way to shop with pick-up available in as little as four hours.”

Customers can now place an order on Peapod.com, head to the store, and have a Stop & Shop associate load their groceries right into their car.

“We’re hoping that same-day online pick up will make shopping easier for our customers and reduce the stress that comes with social distancing,” said Ken Dower Sr., store manager at the Clinton Stop & Shop.

To use the service, customers can visit www.peapod.com and select “Pick-up” at the Clinton location. Customers can then head to the store at their chosen pick-up time, park in a designated pick-up spot, then call a phone number to let the store team know they have arrived. Stop & Shop team members will then deliver their order right to their car.

“Stop & Shop has altered its pickup policies with associate and customer safety in mind,” officials wrote in a news release. “Customers are being asked to have their trunk or door open for associates to place groceries directly in their vehicle. Customers are also encouraged to wear masks and limit the number of people in their vehicle, when possible, to better enable social distancing. In addition, Stop & Shop associates will be wearing masks while working and are following all of the same sanitizing precautions as its in-store associates, including surface sanitization and regular hand washing every 20-30 minutes.

“Due to customer demand, the number of orders that can be fulfilled throughout the day will be limited temporarily. Supply may also be limited for specific items that are on national allocation and may not be available for purchase. Two item purchase limits are also still in place for certain high-demand items.”
