Stop & Shop expands holdings with conversion of two C&S stores

QUINCY, Mass. Stop & Shop this week announced that it has agreed to buy out two Massachusetts Grand Union Family Markets stores and switch them to the Stop & Shop namesake.

The Grand Union in Provincetown, Mass., as well as the Ro-Jack’s in Seekonk, Mass. Will close in December for updates and reopen as Stop & Shop locations in time for the holidays, Stop & Shop said.

C&S Wholesale Grocers, based in Keene, N.H., has been operating the Grand Union store in Provincetown since its 2001 acquisition and the Ro-Jack’s store in a 2003 asset exchange with Supervalu.

C&S is also the supplier to Massachusetts area Stop & Shop stores.
