Many retailers have had to shut down underperforming stores in order to keep their company alive. Some are able to weather the storm while others have had to shut the doors altogether. Businesses like Bed, Bath and Beyond, Staples, Walgreens, CVS and more have all closed stores throughout the Bay State in recent history.

It was last October that Stop and Shop had to shut down close to a dozen underperforming stores in Massachusetts to keep business alive and now another supermarket will be shuttering an underperforming store in the Bay State.

A Shaw's Supermarket is closing one of its Massachusetts stores. According to multiple media websites, the Gloucester store at 7 Railroad Ave. will be shutting it's doors to the store not performing to expectations.

The good news is there is another Shaw's Supermarket in Gloucester on Eastern Avenue with additional nearby locations in Beverly and Peabody.
