NH Stop & Shop Stores Closing Friday

The Milford store will join the grocery chain's exit from New Hampshire.

By Marc Fortier:

The grocery chain announced Wednesday that its six stores and three gas stations in the Granite State will close Friday, Aug. 16 at 9 p.m.

Stop & Shop announced Aug. 6 that it would be closing its New Hampshire stores on or before Sept. 21. That date came sooner rather than later after shoppers quickly emptied the shelves once the store started selling all items at half off. 

"We deeply appreciate and thank our associates for their years of service and dedication to the communities of Southern New Hampshire," company spokeswoman Suzi Robinson said via email. "We thank our loyal customers for their patronage and appreciate the opportunity to have served since 2003."
