TAUNTON — Shaw’s confirmed Monday that it is closing six stores in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, including supermarkets in Taunton and Fall River.
“While the decision to close a store is always difficult — given the impact on associates and customers — it was made only after careful evaluation and was guided by what is best for the company’s ongoing success and future growth,” Shaw’s spokesman Steve Sylven said in an email Monday night.
The six stores slated to close by Aug. 3 are located on Winthrop Street, Taunton; William S. Canning Boulevard, Fall River; Berdon Way, Fairhaven; Washington Street, Stoughton; and two Rhode Island locations. The Rhode Island stores are located in Westerly and Woonsocket.
