Shaw’s announces two store closures in New England
The Gloucester, Massachusetts, and Concord, New Hampshire, stores are set to close soon.
Shaw’s announced two closures of its stores in New England on Wednesday.
The first is at 7 Railroad Ave. in Gloucester, Massachusetts, and the second is at 20 Fort Eddy Road in Concord, New Hampshire.
“Like all retailers, we’re constantly evaluating the performance of our stores,” Shaw’s said in a statement. “Closing a location is always a tough decision, but we’re focused on continuing to provide the products and services our customers value most.”
The company plans to relocate all the store’s associates to nearby locations.

According to the Shaw’s website, there are 54 locations in Massachusetts and 25 in New Hampshire.
Albertsons Companies, the parent company of Shaw’s, also owns Star Market, which has 21 locations in Massachusetts.
In December, federal and state courts blocked a $24.6 billion merger between Kroger and Albertsons, which would have been the largest supermarket merger in U.S. history.
