<div>Stop & Shop is closing East Side Market within 6 monthsy</div>
<div>This would be a great place for a Market Basket. </div>
<div>Hoping more folks will make the suggestion to them.</div>
<div>Not only to save trip to Attleboro,</div>
<div>but the make more competition to force down prices at Whole Foods & other Stop & Shop</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I wrote on the Market Basket "contact us page" <br>( <a href="https://www.shopmarketbasket.com/about-us/contact-us" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.shopmarketbasket.com/about-us/contact-us</a> )</div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(153,0,255)">PLEASE Jump on this! S & S 176 Pittman St is closing. Buy this store and open a Providence location. PLEASE It is so tiresome to have to drive to Attleboro.<br>With your prices and good produce you will NOT under-perform! <br>Stop & Shop was outrageously expensive, sold produce that rotted in days, <br>failed to charge prices advertised in aisles, so you had to read your slip immediately every time.<br>There is also a good size parking lot. It is very worth checking out!!<br><a href="https://www.wpri.com/business-news/stop-shop-closing-32-underperforming-stores/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.wpri.com/business-news/stop-shop-closing-32-underperforming-stores/</a></span></div>
