News article says the abandoned plaza is up for sale after 30 years.

My theory is Stop and Shop owns/owned it to block a competitor from moving in. Now they can't afford to keep it selling moldy bread and cheese and $14/lb store brand deli turkey.

Stop and Shop is on its way out. Here's hoping maybe a Market Basket moves in and puts the final nail in their coffin.

Agreed. Stop and Shop operates like a business that knows their days are numbered around here. Good riddance

Think it was to prevent the Walmart next door to expanding to a super Walmart, they did the same thing with the Rhode Island mall. But now that Walmart is in center I’d New England they can let it go.

Serious? We drive past our Stop and Shop to get to yours in Coventry. 1000x better than the one in Richmond.
