The short answer
The registry records Stop & Shop as a possible interpretation of STOP & SHOP #11. This descriptor-to-company association has not passed claim-level evidence review. Compare the exact line, amount and posted status with your own receipt or account activity; the name alone cannot confirm the merchant or whether you authorized the payment.

Why is Stop & Shop on my statement?
Unreviewed registry note: Seeing STOP & SHOP #11 on your bank or credit card statement indicates an authorized retail purchase from Stop & Shop grocery stores. This point-of-sale transaction covers in-store grocery shopping, household goods, bakery items, or pharmacy prescriptions acquired at a specific supermarket branch. Consumers frequently shop at these regional grocery stores weekly, which explains why receipt totals vary based on basket size and household needs.
Unreviewed registry note: Store numbers embedded within the billing descriptor help identify the specific physical retail location or regional distribution center where the transaction took place. If you placed an online curbside pickup order or scheduled home grocery delivery, temporary authorization holds may appear on your account prior to final item bagging and pricing settlement. Checking order confirmation emails clarifies these totals.
Unreviewed registry note: To review your itemized grocery receipts or check loyalty club rewards, log in to your account portal at stopandshop.com or inspect your paper register receipt. If you do not recognize the transaction and suspect unauthorized card use, contact your financial institution immediately to dispute the charge and protect your card against further fraudulent activity.
What to do if you don't recognize it
Unreviewed registry note: If you see a Stop & Shop charge but haven't shopped there, it could be a sign of a compromised card or an authorized user making a purchase.
Unreviewed registry note: Review your recent receipts or ask family members. If you still cannot identify it, contact your card issuer immediately to report potential fraud.
Can I dispute a Stop & Shop grocery charge?
Unreviewed registry note: Yes, if you believe the charge from Stop & Shop is fraudulent or unauthorized, you can initiate a dispute directly with your credit card issuer. Make sure to first check with any joint account holders who might have made the purchase.
Does Stop & Shop charge a holding fee?
Unreviewed registry note: In most cases, Stop & Shop does not charge a holding fee for regular in-store purchases. However, online grocery orders or pickup services may place a temporary authorization hold that drops off once the final total is calculated and settled.
