This for the Stop and Shop in Vernon CT. This used to be a great place to get GF products. Everything was located in one dedicated section and the selection was extensive. Someone in management decided to scrap this concept. I asked the manager (on 6/18/18) why and he said it was a decision from "corporate" so this may be coming to all of the chain!
Now everything (except the frozen goods) is mixed in with the non GF food and as best as I could tell the amount of GF is considerably less. For example, I looked for Snyder's GF pretzels. There dozens of non GF and only one GF. The frozen GF is separate but the selection is 1/3 of what it used to be. SO YESTERDAY WAS THE LAST DAY I WILL GO INTO THE STORE. Not just for GF but for anything else.

- A designated gluten free section makes it easier to find with natural and organic products
- Gluten-free tags on hundreds of products across the entire store, including snacks, meals and ingredients you need to cook a gluten-free meal from scratch
Amazing GF aisle! They have an excellent GF frozen section too. There are other GF groceries (cookies, crackers, mac and cheese) throughout the other aisles as well, you just have to look for it!

They have a dedicated Gluten free section on the shelf and in the freezer. They have other GF options spread out throughout the store.
However, they do not have many gluten free foods that I know are available at other Stop and Shops in the region, and that's really frustrating. They could have a wider variety as well.

Has some items gluten-free, but must search them out in the supermarket. Some are refrigerated some are not.

They have a fair amount of GF items available here and was able to do all of my grocery shopping here for the week I found all of my GF options that I required so didn’t need to go to the bigger stop and shop a little ways out or any other another store.
