The latest plan by Stop & Shop to expand and renovate its Edgartown supermarket has arrived at the Martha’s Vineyard Commission, which plans to begin a review next month.
Plans to expand the store are proceeding slowly, with the planning board hearing results of a traffic study and an update about potential complications involving a bank branch next door.
Stop & Shop workers in the region that includes Martha’s Vineyard are at the bargaining table. Local 328 represents 11,000 clerks and cashiers at stores in Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts.
Some 18 months after abandoning plans to expand its Vineyard Haven store, Stop & Shop unveiled preliminary plans this week for a huge expansion of its grocery store on Upper Main street in Edgartown, including a major redesign of the parking lots.
