Stop & Shop in
East Providence (RI)

Great store great workers, and they are very helpful.

I bought this a week ago. And as you can see from the photo it shows the best by date of 5/14/2025. I shouldn’t be consuming a product that’s been sitting on the shelf for well over 4 months.

Stop & Shop is a reliable and convenient option for weekly grocery shopping. The stores are generally clean and well-organized, making it easy to find everything you need, and many locations have recently been remodeled with expanded fresh and prepared foods departments. The "GO Rewards" loyalty program is a definite highlight, with points that can be redeemed for gas or groceries, which helps offset some of the higher prices compared to other area supermarkets. The "scan and go" option is also a great feature for speeding up the checkout process, when it's working smoothly.

If you come here and go to the deli and it’s the white middle aged lady working, be prepared to wait for 30 minutes even if you’re only getting one thing… This lady every time I go to the deli she just takes her sweet old time. Literally one time, I ordered one package of cheese from her and another customer who was next in line got helped by the other worker and ordered cheese and meat and the other customer got his meat AND cheese before she even finished my one thing. She just moves incredibly slow and then will stop what she’s doing to gossip with coworkers, just really has no sense of urgency at all. I truly don’t understand how this lady is allowed to work the deli every time I go there and she’s the one who does my order at the deli it just ruins my shopping experience every time.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Huge shoutout to Vinnie (deli department)at the @Stop&Shop in East Providence! Every time I’ve been in, he’s been incredibly helpful, friendly, and professional. Whether it’s helping me find something, offering assistance without being asked, or just greeting customers with a positive attitude, Vinnie really goes above and beyond. You can tell he takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about the people he’s helping. Stop$shop needs more people like him — East Providence is lucky to have Vinnie on the team! Diana Lopes

I started shopping here pretty consistently in the early mornings recently - I help my elderly mother by doing her shops before work. I can be in a few minutes after open and I’m always greeted with a great big smile and an offer of help from Vinny over in the Deli. He could easily be annoyed that a customer is there so early but hes always a joy. I work in customer service and I know how hard it can be. This store has a few employees like Vinny - and they really matter and keep customers coming back. So thanks, Vinny! Your smile really does turn my day around on the harder mornings.

So I go in to Stop & Shop tonight I’m at the deli counter. I see some woman walk by. So yes I seen she wasn’t in uniform. All I did was ask her if the deli was still open she looked at me and goes. No it’s not. I’m not even in uniform like do you not see that & walked away completely ignorant for no reason so clearly they need to get better customer service in there store because if I talk to one of my customers like that. I wouldn’t even have a job anymore. I’m a manager at a store as well and I would never allow one of my employees to talk to somebody like that disgusting very, very ignorant. The guy that came and got my carriage very nice by the way….

I've been going there for a long time I won't lie it's a very good store and the people are nice but recently some guy accused me for stealing in front of every body and kept me there for almost 2hr and my daughter was waiting for me after school so much workers came up to me it was so embarrassing best belive I will not be going back to that store anytime soon

C'mon it's a market, need I say more, well ok then, I will, I love Stop and Shop especially this one at the Wampanoag Mall Plaza, it's always a pleasant experience.

Staff at the register is always nice and professional in my experience. Self check can get awkward if you forgot to bring reusable tote bags because they only sell the stop&shop brand tote bags at a couple of the kiosks and do not have paper or plastic bags at any of the kiosks. I have had to reach over other shoppers scanning their items at other kiosks that do have the reusable bags when using self checkout before when I have forgotten bags so I now keep the bags in my car so I never end up grocery shopping without bags. It would be a great improvement if they could move the reusable tote bags to the entrance to the self checkout area. Review would have been 5 stars if that were the case. The reusable bags are high quality for the price however, as they are selling for $0.99 and have never ripped on me when I am packing them to the brim. The East Providence location is also less expensive than the Seekonk store I have found. Overall it has always been a pleasant shopping experience.

Terrible experience on 3/7/2025 - store was running off a generator for some reason, did not allow self-checkout, and the cashiers would not honor sale prices. Horrible. Frozen pizza on sale for $4.99 was rung up at non-sale price, $8.49. Very strange they would not honor their own sale prices due to loss of power.

Thank you so much the manager Mallorie allowed me in 1 minute prior to closing to get my 4 week old twins wipes It was very much appreciated! Don't go to shaws across the street theyre rude, come here instead!

This is a great Plaza and it's on the border of seekonk and very convenient. Every worker that works in one of these stores within this Plaza is very friendly and there is no other place to go shopping when you get all the rite stores in all the same place. Every one of these stores are well-stocked and you'll find everything you need all in one go guaranteed every time.

Im constantly getting expired food here. I'm not used to having to check dates on everything I eat so I've gotten sick from here. Got potato salad in October that expired in February. Gotten deli slices that were slimey and smelt bad, luckily I knew not to eat those. I got a bag of hard boiled eggs that weren't expired, but when i opened them they smelled rancid. I should know by now to either stop going there, or check the dates, but realistically I shouldn't have to. There are stores that have the expiration date linked to the bar code so if you ring something up that's expired it alerts you. Stop & Shop desperately needs that.

Unfriendly customer service staff. Customer service makes it feel like they're doing you a favor by resolving your issues. Use of the mobile app is clunky and clumsy to the max. I rarely shop there anymore unless it's a complete necessity

One of the best stop And shops. My best friend and I both 41 love to go shopping in this mall /plaza and we go to this stop and shop a lot. Great product selection esp in healthy , organic and Vegan/no dairy items (I’m severely lactose intolerant and into health and fitness ) . Anyways was just here last night around 6 pm-7 pm and was in the self checkout section and the young man who was eating working self checkout area was very sweet and extremely helpful. I felt awful cause I’m very blonde and 6 if not more times my register was signaling him and he had to come over. I don’t even know what I do to make it happen either. One time I said I think I better start going to regular register and he laughed. Then I go it’s me again. He laughed. I go in extremely sorry this keeps happening . He smiled going it’s totally ok. He was do nice and very patient with me. Almost everytime I go on Friday evenings which is a lot I see him there running the self checkout section. Highly recommend this location.

Four weeks ago I visited this location. They have excellent choices for everyday and seasonal cards; flowers; vegetables and other foods. The transaction was friendly and speedy. The other location at West River Street, Providence is also as big and as varied as this store. I guess my visit was easy because there were few cars outside. I'm sure everyone was at home, pre-shoppers, celebrating birthdays and graduation events. 🪅 🪅 🪅 🎉 🎉 🎉 🍸 🍸 🍸

Rhode Island has higher taxes than Massachusetts, so we try to go to Seekonk to shop. Otherwise , Stop n Shop is a large and plentiful food store. We have never had a problem with them. Very busy area. They have car chargers and handicapped parking. There is also bus access right to the front door with benches to wait on. There are store public restrooms, as well.

Theres nothing bad you can say about Stop & Shop. I trust the name. I trust I will always have what I need and in great quality. I even like the clearance items, the older bakery items, and the food offered on their flashfood app.

If you have a flashfood order. Get it from somewhere else poor service. Workers forget items, sometimes I had to drive 2 even 3 times back. So please. Save your money. And save your gas for a stop and shop that'll take care of your purchases

I am black and I had many racist encounters at this location but I still have to come there unfortunately because I live in the neighborhood. I went in at 9am I ordered a cake with cupcakes and the baker associate was so rude and dismissive towards me , she kept telling me there was things that couldn’t be done and it was too late , she never offered me to see any options I know I may have had, I had to look at the cakes that were already on display to see what I like. I came back at 4pm to cancel because I’m tired of being treated like I’m not human and have feelings as well ! And guess what there was a whole new set of cakes with new designs from the same baker! I hope the mangers does better and teach the staff that not all black people are bad ! Im not stealing either, so I shouldn’t be followed around the store and literally watched at self check out while everyone else gets to be at self checkout with no issues

Very bad and uncomfortable customer service experience, I'll never shop there again

Good selection, produce mostly very good. Deli person was very amiable and did a good job with everything 👍

Shop here very often. Recently there seem to be some stocking issues. February 2023 store getting s full store makeover! A little confusing, but improvements are becoming evident. The store has very few human cashiers. Now the store is introducing charging for bags. Food is expensive enough without this further injustice. Now is the perfect time to bring your own reusable shopping bags. Lastly, the new self checkout station do not provide enough space to checkout comfortably. Very disappointing changes at a store I shop at regularly...or should I say, shopped at.

This Stop and Shop is pretty decent. The produce section isn’t stocked with a lot of fresh food. Everything seems to be on its last leg. Outside of the deli crew staff isn’t the friendliest, and somehow it is not as well stocked as other locations. Fine in a pinch and way better prices and selection than the neighboring market but if you’re planning to shop for the week drive a bit further to Seekonk

My grocery store of choice. I always find what I need when I need it. It has a wide variety of natural, gluten free and nut free foods. They have there own organic brand of food called natures promise. The store brand on regular items are just as good as the name brand products. The store is always clean the aisles clearly marked. The produce section has a great supply of fruits and vegetables.

Good selection but never enoigh registers open and always a ton of glitches with the automated checkout.
