The impacted stores include:
- 100 Division St., Ansonia, New Haven County

Some towns and cities have more than one store; those listed above will remain open.
The stores are anticipated to close on or before Saturday, Nov. 2.
The company said Stop & Shop associates at impacted locations will be offered other opportunities within the company.
“Stop & Shop is proud of the deep roots and community ties we have developed as a neighborhood grocer of more than 100 years, and we remain committed to nourishing our associates, customers, and communities,” said Gordon Reid, president of Stop & Shop.
The company said Stop & Shop will communicate specific store closing dates to local customers well before any store closures.
