Warren, Markey, McGovern, Pressley Push Stop & Shop Parent Company on Price Gouging Concerns in Massachusetts Communities

Press Release

Date: Oct. 1, 2024
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Business, Consumers, and Employees

"These types of price discrepancies place significant burdens on already-struggling consumers.

“Stop & Shop’s actions appear to reflect a problem of opportunistic and sometimes-predatory pricing practices by major food and grocery corporations in the United State. During the COVID-19 pandemic, large corporations across the economy took advantage of supply chain disruptions to prey on consumers by raising prices by even more than necessary to cover increases in costs. Nearly two years later, corporations’ production costs are down and their profits are ballooning, yet prices continue to climb–suggesting a pattern of corporate profiteering.”
