These limited-edition Stop & Shop bags are being debuted by the East Coast grocer at select locations as a way to help put a focus on shark conservation this summer. The bags will be on offer starting Monday, July 7, 2025 for free with any purchase of $35 or more and will be at 17 locations throughout Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, Massachusetts. The bags also boast a QR code that links to the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy (AWSC) organization to promote more education.
District Director Ben Feller spoke on the Stop & Shop bags saying, "These bags are a fun way to celebrate the summer season on the Cape and Islands and help ensure our customers can easily access the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy shark education resources. I’ve lived and worked on Cape Cod my whole life, and this is a very busy but very special place during this time of year. We hope all our customers across the region have a safe and happy summer."
