As a counter point - The stop & shop in Shrewsbury has lower prices than the stop & shop in Lincoln plaza. Feels like predatory pricing to me.

If I remember correctly, Stop&Shop has a few different price tiers that they operate different stores at. When the Market Basket in Maynard opened a few years ago, suddenly the Stop&Shop in South Acton couldn’t keep the same higher priced tier that Acton and neighboring Concord could “afford”, and they had to drop it to a lower priced tier.
