Business Brief

As part of Stop & Shop’s better neighbor initiative, Stop & Shop associates and store managers helped residents of the Spring Oak Assisted Living in Toms River celebrate Valentine’s Day.

The Stop & Shop team helped the residents decorate and paint hearts, and distributed cupcakes, cookies and hand-dipped chocolate covered strawberries. They also danced with the residents and engaged them in games and trivia contests. They distributed prizes which included Stop & Shop gift cards, chocolate covered hearts and a four-foot tall bear.
