Look Inside: Stop & Shop - Provincetown, MA

Stop & Shop Opened: 2008 Owner:  Ahold Delhaize Previous Tenants:  A&P (ca. late 1980s-2003) > Grand Union Family Markets (2003-2008) Cooperative:  none Location:  56 Shank Painter Rd, Provincetown, MA Photographed:  July 30, 2021 Contributor:  Lars D. You can tell from the outside right away that this is not your average Stop & Shop. The roughly 40,000 square foot store was actually built in the late 1980s as an A&P, later becoming a Grand Union Family Markets owned by C&S when A&P left the area in 2003. GUFM sold this and one other location to Stop & Shop in 2008. This is the only supermarket in Provincetown, and the next closest is an independent called Wellfleet Marketplace in Wellfleet, about 13 miles southeast. It's also the farthest-out supermarket on Cape Cod, as Provincetown is the last town on the cape.

Back in Time: Dennisport, MA

Welcome to Dennisport, MA, a small village within the town of Dennis on Cape Cod! This undated postcard shows a view of the quaint main street, featuring a Stop & Shop grocery store! I unfortunately haven't been able to pinpoint where this location was, but there was also an A&P in town at some point. A great picture! Tomorrow we have one more postcard before we wrap up the Back in Time feature!
