Took over the Waldbaum's that used be here for many years. Pretty much the same layout and offerings. Store is generally well up-kept and well stocked. Checkout lanes move fairly fast even when it's busy.
Biggest complaint may be parking during peak times because it's in a pretty large shopping center with several other stores of all kinds.
Minor annoyance having to stick a quarter in a shopping cart to "rent it" but, hey, you get your money back when you put it back where it belongs – instead of up against someone else's car – and you will always have carts available. Come to think of it, that's not so annoying but you may not easily figure out what needs to be done to insert the coin and free the cart from the other cart onto which it's chained.
Biggest plus may be their sizable deli area (as compared to other nearby competitors anyway) and usually helpful and efficient staff. I don't mind driving the extra few miles to come here instead shopping at other nearer by grocery stores so I guess that says something.
I am really surprised by some of the reviews for this newly opened Stop & Shop. The Waldbaum's in Bay Terrace, I felt, was always the best one in the area and since becoming Stop & Shop it's really upped the ant-y. The store is clean and has a great selection of produce, meat and non perishable items. Granted the store is usually pretty busy, the staff are helpful and friendly. If you try to go at the start of the week they always have the sale items and you honestly can't beat their prices. My spending on groceries has significantly gone down since Stop & Shop opened. Definitely the best store to go to in the Bayside-Whitestone area!
The location looks exactly the same as Waldbaums. I love the convenience of this location but it doesn't stay open till 2 am like the previous establishment. Over all this store has everything you want when you want it. You need a quarter deposit for the shopping cart but you get it back when you return it but non the less it is annoying.
Friday was the Grand Opening of Stop & Shop in Bay Terrace and luckily every household got these weekly promotional coupons till the end of November. Woah the parking lot looks really packed in front of the supermarket than usual on a weekend. This is a great change to the neighborhood. As I walked into Stop & Shop, on my left was a guy making balloon animals for the kids, tables of free tasting of Glazed Donuts, Salami, Apples, and etc. Yes I tried the ones that are safe for me to eat because of my food allergies. The staff in the yellow shirts were restocking produce and etc and the staff in the blue shirts are behind the registers ringing up your purchase.
Great produce! Great sales! I am glad Stop and Shop moved to Bayside! The only thing I wish they had in this location was the scanning gun. I have been to another Stop and Shop where you can scan your items as you shop. When you get to the register, you scan the gun and everything pops up. It makes check out faster. I thought every Stop and Shop had this but I was wrong.
