Stop & Shop - Milford, MA

Stop & Shop Opened: November 2017 Owner:  Ahold Delhaize Previous Tenants:  Kmart Cooperative:  none Location:  126 Medway Rd, Milford, MA Photographed:  August 24, 2025 The Market Report arrives at the largest supermarket in Milford! This 70,000 square foot Stop & Shop opened in 2017, occupying most of an extensively-renovated former Kmart. Stop & Shop moved from a slightly smaller, 80s-era store (the octagonal kind ) about 2/3 of a mile northwest. Interestingly enough, the Home Goods and TJ Maxx that were previously next to the old Stop & Shop moved with Stop & Shop and now occupy the remainder of the former Kmart space. The former Stop & Shop has been remodeled but doesn't appear to have a new tenant yet. The new store is spacious -- it feels absolutely huge -- and still spots the wood-grain decor it had when it opened. It still feels like a very new store, although it's not operating at the full capacity it was when it opened. More ...

LIDL - Brooklyn, NY (Park Slope)

LIDL Opened: December 10, 2025 Owner:  Schwarz Group Previous Tenants:  none; Key Food previously on property Cooperative:  none Location:  120 5th Ave, Brooklyn, NY Photographed:  December 12, 2025 Welcome to the newest LIDL! This store opened last week in Brooklyn's Park Slope neighborhood, in a new-build building on a property previously occupied by a large, suburban-style Key Food. The Key Food was around 35,000 square feet with a ground-level parking lot. Of course, in the urban and rapidly growing Park Slope area, that wasn't long for this world, so the LIDL is both smaller (25,000 square feet) and lacking the surface parking lot. There does appear to be a garage, but I'm not sure whether it's free parking for LIDL or not. This store is also under a mile from the relatively new Downtown Brooklyn LIDL , and is also not far from Brooklyn's newest ALDI . At the other end of Park Slope is the new K-Slope Marketplace . To maximize retail space in the new buil...

Update: Food Bazaar Supermarket - Hempstead, NY

Food Bazaar Supermarket Opened: September 2024 Owner:  Spencer An Previous Tenants:  Melmarkets Foodtown > Stop & Shop (2001-2024) Cooperative:  none Location:  132 Fulton Ave, Hempstead, NY Photographed:  December 5, 2025 In October of 2024, Stop & Shop closed 32 stores. Several transitioned to new operators, including four in the New York metro area that went to Food Bazaar. Now, a little over a year later, Food Bazaar is holding the grand opening for its Hempstead location -- the first acquired Stop & Shop to finish its extensive remodel. The store has been open for business during the remodel, and only closed overnight for the transition to Food Bazaar. Before that, this supermarket was built as a Melmarkets Foodtown, a chain acquired in 1996 by Ahold-owned Edwards. The Edwards stores were rolled into Stop & Shop in 2000-2001, and the store was remodeled shortly thereafter by Stop & Shop. It got another renovation in 2020, although it...
