okay. in the summertime and you guys close at 12.... please stop closing self checkouts. it creates a weird line at night that isn't necessary. in addition, no matter the amount of groceries, when i come walking into the self checkout area at 9:30, and you guys are open for 2.5 more hours... don't look annoyed. also, i know i have no idea what it takes to close those down & how much time etc, but as one of the highest grossing stop and shops, don't make me feel unwelcome. not to mention, i live here year round. and while i love restocking & they're doing a great job with it, please try not to clog the aisles. when all of your restock carts (a couple in an aisle) and then the workers chatting in a cluster, it's just kinda awkward to say excuse me that many times during my shopping experience, when i would think 9:30 pm would be a safe time to go. i love this store obviously it's where i do all my shopping, but i do think the summer staff could be doing a little better. thank you! read more

Conveniently located. They had everything we needed. We bought drinks and snacks here so we don't have to overpay at retail stores. Fresh flowers, produce, ingredients for us to take back to our rental and cook, prepped foods, chips, etc. Deli has 4 different kinds of cooked chicken. 3 soups, clam chowder is really good. Sushi is ok but very pricey. read more

This store is open 6AM to midnight every day on an island. Super well stocked. More variety than most mainland Stop & Shops. I saw the review about narrow aisles: I guess that person expected a Midwest big box store. I felt the aisles were fine, same as Boston about 6 feet wide. Very clean! Great parking & easy walk from downtown too. I went at 7 AM on a Sunday. The staff I asked for help finding things were very friendly. Yes prices are high; that's always what you get on an island. Terrific selection of ice cream treats & bars/pops. I would highly recommend this for your standard groceries on island. read more

If this place were anymore broke down, outta stock of EVERYTHING and employed by people who have no idea where anything is or for that matter that they are even working in a grocery store you'd swear you were in Bangladesh. Filthy, crowded, picked over, shitty brands and questionable freshness on everything. They are rude patronizing and completely OUT OF IT! God bless they have a monopoly cause if Publix or any reputable grocery came to the island they would be GONESVILLE. Sad. read more

First, I'd like to know why the $8.99 soup containers are no longer available on Nantucket but are available at stop and shops everywhere off Island, And why Is the quality of produce/food during the off season in the dumpster but springs to life when the "summers" arrive? It'd be nice to have a Market Basket as an alternative. Meat and Fish is great but not for everyday. Greedy Stop and Shop knows we have nothing else. Service depends on what time of year you go into either store, new hires are either on their cellphones or chatting with their friends, go ahead ask them a question you'll be told "I don't know" they'll look away and continue with chatting up their non working friends. Stores are clean and well stocked. Many options have disappeared without any reason, Stop and Shop stocked it at one time the item sold out never to be replaced, just to make room for more for more juice or water. why aren't certain items reordered who's doing the buying?! Stinks to have to grin and deal with S&S on Nantucket. read more

It's an island, so space is premium. The aisles are narrow and it is hard to park the cart and run down an aisle to get something without being in someone's way. That said, the place is incredibly well stocked. Good looking produce. Parking was always available. Very big coffee bar. Beautiful looking salad bar. Seafood and meat selection both impressive and abundant; we got the wild caught salmon and it was fresh and delicious. The ribeye steaks were equally amazing. read more

See all

Sorry to state this, but the checkers have the worst attitudes I have ever seen in a store. Fox falls off the conveyers onto the floor, and today, a worker came out with an item which somehow did not make it into my bag. And I loaded them. Just sloppy work. I'll be bringing more goods from Amazon in the future. read more

Ever since I left this place as a employee I'm sick of the staff following me around the store while shopping thinking I'm steeling food when I never steel so sick of the way they treat the fellow workers read more

The new store almost makes you think you're not on nantucket! I, along with most people who spend an extended amount of time on is,and, was excited when the new store opened. I avoided the grand opening because I knew it would be,d be crazy, but grocery needs called so I made it over the next day. It's a huge improvement over the old store and far bigger than the one downtown by the wharf. Lots of fresh produce, good selection of food, and ready made foods in the deli. Salad bar like you'd have on the mainland has a great selection of items.The have a gent who used to work down at one of the town sushi places who makes sushi fresh daily. It's good and not cripplingly expensive. An extension of The Bean offers coffee and there's seats to enjoy lunch. I noticed a lot of local workers come over to get lunch here, something I myself do often because it is far cheaper than most restaurants on town. When they finish up the larger parking lot, it should solve some of the parking problems they have during the summer. read more

Biggest selection of items on island. However, I know people from MI who call this the icebox because of how cold the whole store is. High prices, but it is Nantucket. Not a lot of parking, but they don't have space to expand and have been around for over 20 when the island wasn't as busy. Liquor store is next door. read more

I pretty much dig the Stop and Shop on Nantucket, but I don't know if it's because it's really one of the only options around or because secretly as a city gal I miss suburban style supermarkets. In any case, the selection of items gets me real excited and this year it seems they've expanded their gluten free selection which is very nice - way to support the food challenged. My biggest complaint is how cold they keep the joint - when I left I had no feeling in my feet. read more

I am very thankful to have this Stop & Shop in Nantucket. The real downfall we have here is parking - they need a lot more because it is so POPULAR... They have a couple red boxes in here which are useful. The lines are kept pretty short at check-out, the produce is regularly fresh, they have great specials on meats, the store is pretty clean for such high volume, it's extremely well lit and offers good hours. Nantucket can be pretty limiting to businesses so I am very thankful we have this affordable grocery store. read more

Another grocery chain with high prices and poor service. We shop here since the only other chain grocery store is downtown where parking is impossible. Never shop here on a Saturday unless it is after 6 PM- and be prepared to find little left on the shelves after the summer visitors stop here on their way to their houses/cottages. Bartlett's is an option but limited supplies. read more

The "new" Stop & Shop was much anticipated and we islanders suffered considerably during its construction. Strangely, although the "new" store has more square footage, it seems to have fewer selections than the old store. Perhaps it is because an inordinate amount of space has been given to the coffee bar, deli and bakery areas. The same infuriating shortcomings of the old store persist with the new-empty shelves while pallets of replacement goods block aisles and access to what goods are on the shelves. The parking still stinks. Perhaps they would provide a better shopping experience if they would pay a Nantucket living wage. They also force you to patronize their downtown store to finish off your shopping list, as many items are not carried at both stores. Monopoly at its worst. read more

Maybe it's because the majority of stores on the island seem so outrageously priced that I welcome the Stop and Shop, but I do give them kudos for stocking international food as well as wisely selling bread from the great Something Natural bakery. When they have sales on hard goods, I find it a bargain. read more
