Grocery chain Stop & Shop said it will close 32 “underperforming” stores, including locations in Carlstadt and Ringwood and eight other locations in New Jersey, by the end of this year.

“Stop & Shop has evaluated its overall store portfolio and made the difficult decision to close underperforming stores in order to create a healthy foundation for future growth of our brand,” Stop & Shop President Gordon Reed said in a statement Friday.

Stop & Shop will continue to have more than 350 stores across its five-state footprint.

The chain has renovated nearly 200 of its stores since 2018, but ultimately “it’s not enough, and it’s not where we want to be or need to be,” said Stop & Shop CEO JJ Fleeman.

Stop & Shop spokesman Daniel Wolk said all employees will be offered other potential positions within the company.
