The questions readers actually ask: what time does Stop & Shop open today, when does the store close, are they open Sunday or Saturday, are they open on Christmas and Thanksgiving, how the Go Rewards loyalty card and Stop & Shop Peapod online delivery work, and where the nearest store is located.
Two Stop & Shop specific things worth knowing: most stores run a uniform 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM schedule seven days a week (Sunday matches weekday hours), Christmas Day is closed chain-wide, Thanksgiving runs reduced 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM hours, and Easter Sunday runs reduced 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM hours.
