Stop & Shop, which employs nearly 60,000 associates and operates more than 400 stores throughout New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Jersey, hopes to fill positions in the bakery, deli, grocery, produce, seafood and meat departments. The chain is also looking to add new members to its night crew as well as cashiers, porters and baggers.

Part-time positions provide 12 to 28 hours of work each week. Employees receive “competitive pay, paid training, flexible schedules, a company discount, paid time off and career advancement opportunities.”

The job fairs will take place at Stop & Shop stores in Westchester and Dutchess counties, Connecticut, Western Massachusetts from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 31.
