Their curbside pickup in my town is free, no subscription required. If there's a problem with my order, they always fix it. Their employees are usually very nice.

They're always less busy than Market Basket. (I actually like MB quite a bit.)

The two other options within a ten minute drive of my house generally cost more than S&S. Since S&S is directly competing with MB in my area, they hold their prices a bit lower. It's also easy to shop mostly sale items from S&S. Most everything goes on sale at least once a month.

The Rockport commuter rail, which stops in Manchester and Gloucester, passes some scenic spots. Hopefully it will be totally back on line by the time you get here. They're doing work on it until Dec 18th. (You can still use it as transportation, but you currently have to transfer to a bus part way.)

Cape Ann Transit Authority has some additional bus service around the Gloucester and Rockport area, which could be helpful in winter.
