The Stop & Shop Supermarket Co. LLC, in partnership with its sister company Peapod, the leading internet grocer, has launched a new Pick-Up facility in East Lyme at its Super Stop & Shop at 248 Flanders Road East Lyme, CT 06333. Shoppers can now order their groceries online for easy pick-up at the store and choose a one-hour pick-up time from morning through evening.
There are no fees associated with the service, no minimum order, and no need to get out of the car – customers can wait as attendants load groceries right into their vehicle.
Pick-up shoppers can also create personal lists, read nutrition information online, sort products rapidly by price or by nutrition criteria and take advantage of thousands of weekly specials. Stop & Shop cardholders can even shop from a list of items they have bought at their local store simply by entering their Stop & Shop card number online. They can also earn Stop & Shop Gas Rewards and A+ School Rewards points on their pick-up orders.
This new service will also be available at Super Stop & Shop, 99 Linwood Avenue Colchester, CT 06415
The combination of shopping online from a computer or smartphone and picking up groceries from a local Stop & Shop is another convenient option to help fit the needs of busy shoppers.

I have spoken with a manager and said this is discriminatory for (or against) people who park a car and walk into the store to buy their groceries. I also felt the same way the store had signs that said it was for those with infants. In fact, according to the law, infants can be much older than infancy. They no longer have a sign that discriminate against (or for) those who do not have infants.
It looks to me like they are launching a similar endeavor in Old Saybrook based on the new pick-up area in front of the store. Sounds like a nice alternative, especially for busy families and working parents who have a narrow window of opportunity to do their food shopping!
Lee, are you kidding? I am more then willing to give up a closer spot to a person with small children in their car. It’s much more safe for drivers (and the children) to get their babies out of the car and quickly into the store and out of the parking lot. Why can’t people just be kind to each other? Are you really that upset that you have to park a few extra spots away?
Honestly, so many people complain about the silliest things these days. It really disgusts me.
