Stop & Shop is closing 32 underperforming stores by year-end, including 15 in New England, as part of an effort to restructure its portfolio. 

The stores are anticipated to close on or before Nov. 2. 

The move follows an announcement in May in which Ahold Delhaize, the corporate parent of the Quincy-based company, said it was focusing on improving the chain’s performance, lowering customer prices, and remodeling stores. 

“Stop & Shop is proud of the deep roots and community ties we have developed as a neighborhood grocer of more than 100 years, and we remain committed to nourishing our associates, customers and communities,” said Gordon Reid, president of Stop & Shop, in a statement. 

“As we announced in May, Stop & Shop has evaluated its overall store portfolio and made the difficult decision to close underperforming stores to create a healthy base for the future growth of our brand,” he continued. 

Stop & Shop will offer positions to all impacted workers at other places within the company. 

Since 2018, the company has completed over 190 store remodels, including the new Boston 52,000-square-foot flagship location, which opened last month in Allston Yards. 

After the closures, Stop & Shop will operate more than 350 stores in five states, including 81 in Connecticut, 115 in Massachusetts, 47 in New Jersey, 91 in New York, and 25 in Rhode Island.
