Staten Island Stop And Shop Providing Inflation Relief To New York Families By Lowering Prices Instead Of Raising Them Amid Economic Uncertainty

Stop & Shop today announced that it has lowered prices at every one of its 21 stores across New York City.

 

Stop & Shop Boosts Affordability with Lower Everyday Prices on Thousands of Items at All Stores in New York Metro Area

 

The supermarket chain is delivering more everyday savings to shoppers across New York City as part of its multi-year strategy to lower prices and improve customer experience

 

Editor’s note: Staten Island’s Stop and Shop locations have recently been renovated, with most products being moved and a more open design utilized.  We’ve previously covered ShopRite’s donations to Salvation Army and other charities.  We also discussed proposed legislation to allow grocery stores to carry wine and liquor products instead of using the current small business oriented model that New York State currently relies on.  This model allows boutique and smaller wines, liquors, and breweries to thrive in an environment where they can make a profit on a small product line.  

We asked the following questions of Stop & Shop, which were answered by Dan Wolk, Stop & Shop Communications Manager.  Questions in bold, answers in italics: 

 

Can people find the items that have had their prices lowered in one place, such as in the app?  What should they look for? 
“Customers can find the new, lower prices reflected directly on the Stop & Shop website and in the app; however, those platforms display only the updated price and do not show the previous ‘was’ price. In-store, customers will see yellow shelf tags that make the savings more transparent by showing both the prior price and the new, reduced price, helping them easily identify where items have been lowered.”
Was it expected that there would be such high inflation during the rollout of these price changes, or was this partially to alleviate the pressure for families coming from higher grocery prices in the last several months?
“The effort to lower thousands of prices has been a phased rollout across our five-state footprint, including Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey. However, as inflation and broader economic uncertainty have continued to impact household budgets, we made the decision to accelerate these changes in New York and New Jersey. We know many of our customers are feeling increased financial pressure, especially when it comes to groceries, and they’ve told us that price is more important than ever. This initiative reflects our commitment to listening and responding quickly, helping to ease the burden on their wallets with meaningful, everyday savings.”

Brooklyn, NY – Stop & Shop today announced that it has lowered prices at every one of its 21 stores across New York City. Shoppers will see lower everyday prices on thousands of items spanning nearly every department, including both national brands and Stop & Shop’s own private label products.

The price reductions are focused on customer favorites that they purchase most and include ‘New York’ favorites like pick-your-own bagels from the Stop & Shop Bakery, Acme Smoked Salmon and Nathan’s Famous hot dogs.

With this latest effort, Stop & Shop has now implemented lower everyday prices at more than 350 store locations throughout Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey, reinforcing its commitment to making groceries more affordable for local customers. This initiative is part of the company’s broader, multi-year transformation strategy announced in May 2024, which includes lower prices, store remodels, and a renewed focus on providing a better in-store experience for customers.

“With affordability a top priority for families today, delivering meaningful savings with lower prices on thousands of items across our stores in New York and New Jersey marks an important milestone in our broader strategy,” said Roger Wheeler, President of Stop & Shop. “We know how important every dollar is, and this investment in everyday value helps customers save on products they buy the most, while continuing to deliver quality, convenience, and a great in-store experience. We’ve remained steadfast in making this significant investment in prices for our local customers, even as broader economic uncertainties persist.”

Customers can easily spot the new price reductions in store with yellow tags highlighting the new everyday price versus the previous price. Examples of new everyday pricing on staple items include*:
