Stop & Shop is rolling out cheaper options at its hot food bar and a new selection of entrees and side dishes, the grocery chain announced on Tuesday, March 24.
As part of the update, the hot food bar will drop its cost by $1, from $10.99 per pound to $9.99 per pound, which the grocery chain said could be done “without sacrificing quality or variety.”
Stop & Shop has 363 locations across five states in the Northeast, according to its website.
In addition, the chain’s hot food bars will include selections meant to “make dinner easier, more flavorful, and more affordable for busy shoppers.”
The new entrees include black pepper steak, Thai coconut chicken thighs, white wine mushroom chicken thighs, bone-in ribs and pork burnt ends.
Side dishes will include mashed potatoes, buttered corn, baked beans, collard greens and mac & cheese.
“As customers balance increasingly busy schedules, convenient meal solutions at their local grocery store have become more important than ever,” Lee Nicholson, Stop & Shop’s chief merchant, said in a statement last week.
“Our hot bar updates provide more variety, strong value and the convenience shoppers are looking for when it’s time to put dinner on the table,” Nicholson said.
