Manchester Stop & Shop Launches Grocery Pick-Up Service

MANCHESTER, NJ — Manchester Township residents who want to limit their potential exposure during the coronavirus pandemic can now shop for groceries online at Stop & Shop and pick up orders curbside, the company announced.

The Whiting store, at 400 Lacey Road, has been added as a pick-up option as of Monday, the company said.

Shoppers can place an order at www.stopandshop.com, or on the Stop & Shop mobile app, select "Pickup" and choose the store where you want to pick it up and get an appointment time for pick-up.

Shoppers can head to the store at their chosen pick-up time, park in a designated pick-up spot, and call to let the store team know they have arrived. Stop & Shop team members will then deliver the order right to their car.

A $30 minimum is required on all pick-up orders and a $2.95 service fee will be applied at checkout, the company said.

"We’re excited to offer our customers the convenience of shopping online for all their favorite items, and then picking up that order from the comfort of their vehicle," said Rusty Anderson, the Whiting store manager. "We hope this service helps make things easier for them."

Stop & Shop has altered its Pickup policies with associate and customer safety in mind. Customers are asked to have their trunk or door open for associates to place groceries directly into their vehicle. Customers are also encouraged to wear masks and limit the number of people in their vehicle, when possible.

In addition, all Stop & Shop Pickup associates will be wearing masks and follow all of the same sanitizing precautions as its in-store associates, including surface sanitization and regular hand washing.

Due to customer demand, supply may be limited for certain items like disinfecting wipes and other cleaning products and may not be available for purchase. Purchase limits are also still in place for certain high-demand items, and customers are encouraged to allow for comparable substitutions.

New customers can receive the service free for 90 days by entering SSFREEPICKUP at checkout. A minimum purchase required. The online pick-up fee will be waived on the first order and on all subsequent orders of $30 or more if placed within 90 days of first order. Valid for first-time residential customers only in select zip codes. Offer excludes alcoholic beverages, gift cards, postage stamps and any other purchases prohibited by law. Offer not transferable. Limit 1 per household. Enter code at first order checkout. Not valid with any other offer. Expires 12/31/2020.
