The Stop & Shop in Ridgewood is temporarily closing its doors for a five to six-week renovation, which began on Thursday.
According to Kenny Demchak, assistant store manager, the entire store will be remodeled over the summer, although the floor layout will remain the same.
“We will be adding new floors, redoing shelves and fixtures, adding new signs and expanding our natural and organic food section,” said Demchak.
The second floor pharmacy and liquor store will remain open for customers throughout the renovation, with new store hours for those departments changing during the remodeling.
Parking on the Stop & Shop grounds will be prohibited and strictly enforced throughout the renovation, except for patrons shopping at the pharmacy and liquor store.
An exact date on when Stop & Shop will reopen its doors remains uncertain.
“If all goes according to plan, we hope to reopen by Labor Day and before school begins,” said Demchak. “We will keep customers notified of our reopening by posting updates on our website and with signs in our Ridgewood store windows.”
New pharmacy and liquor store hours are as follows: Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sunday, noon to 3 p.m.

Lots of changes going on now………. Went to Kings to shop but as usual, lots of “good stuff” but, as usual over priced…. again & again.
I’d like to see stop and shop enforce the parking for ‘customers only’.
The lot is full and the store is empty.
I see employees of local stores parking there, commuters, and the biggest offender, the church across the street.
Kings re-do not good. Preferred greater choice in things like plain yogurt–they were out of what I wanted because hardly any shelf space had been allotted to ordinary products. Do not need yet another place to buy wine. Disappointed by the way staple items have been given short shrift. I hope Kings recognizes its error and puts things back. The store was never big enough in the first place. Meanwhile I will avoid it.
I was a loyal Kings shopper and I hate the re-do. You can’t move down the aisles and, as noted above, the staple items have been shortchanged in the remodel. Not shopping there anymore. Sorry.
Kings is pricing themselves out of the market…
It’s going to take a whole lot more than a renovation to get me to grocery shop at the areas most unappealing grocery store.
Perhaps, one of our Ridgewood members or Chambers can or should be asked for their views on “Grocery Shopping” in the Village” ?
What do you think. …..
I guess I’m not as high brow as his Lordship Sir Declan Harrison.
I like S&S, and 90% of the time I need something in a pinch, that’s the place. Apparently, most others feel the same way because of all the stores in town, S&S is the only one where I might have to wait in a long line to check out. Whole Foods is too small to be of any use, ditto Kings. Both are overpriced.
For deliberate bulk shopping, the Shop Rite in Oakland is the only way to go.
