All of the conversions are expected to be completed by Friday, November 13. Pharmacies and banks within these loca- tions remained open during the conversion process. While the extent of the remodels and addition of new amenities varies by store, each store is reopening as a Stop & Shop store refreshed with modern decor, updated refrigeration systems, new light- ing, state-of-the-art technology, and other improvements. New and vibrant signage will show Stop & Shop's low prices and ex- citing promotions. "We are very excited to begin the store conversion process, and we will strive to minimize the inconvenience to customers," said Don Sussman, President of Stop & Shop New York Metro Division as the con- versions began. "Stop & Shop is committed to improving the overall shopping experi- ence in these 25 stores to meet the quality, selection and savings that customers have come to expect from us." Stop & Shop's signature fresh depart- ments will be featured throughout the con- verted stores as key destinations. Produce departments will feature an assortment of fresh and locally-grown fruits and vegeta- bles and a variety of organic produce. The Butcher Shoppe and Seafood Markets will feature Certified Angus Beef, 100 percent U.S.D.A. choice grade beef, all-natural pork, Grade A chicken and a vast selection of steaks, filets and shellfish. Deli depart- ments will feature Boar's Head products and specialty cheeses. Customers will also find ready-to-eat sandwiches and salads, fresh rotisserie chicken, pasta, soups and delec- table entrees. Peapod, the country's leading Internet grocer, will also be available to customers. Peapod recently expanded its service in the New York metro area and operates in all five New York City boroughs, in addition to Long Island, New Jersey and Connecti- cut markets. "Stop & Shop is committed to being a good neighbor in the communities where it does business," said Sussman. "At each store grand opening event, Stop & Shop plans to make a charitable donation to a local non-profit organization that makes a positive impact on the lives of children. We're also pleased to welcome approxi- mately 3,000 former A&P store associates to Stop & Shop, so shoppers should look forward to seeing many of the same friendly faces."
