'I do think this is a good project, even without some of the concessions Stop & Shop has made,' said Jonathan Moriarty, a member of the board. Other benefits to the town include a promise by Stop & Shop to do a 'major renovation' of its existing store on Middle Street in 2023, and to donate food to local pantries and organizations in need. The smaller vans will be registered in Weymouth so the town will receive the excise taxes. However, if issues arise, the petitioner must reevaluate and change the plans.

Luongo said the town's traffic engineer thinks the intersection of Washington Street with the service road can handle the vehicles coming to and from the Peapod facility. There will be approximately 25 to 35 delivery vans parked on site in the evening, all of which will make about two delivery trips per day in a 20- to 30-mile radius.ĭelivery of bulk products will be made by two to three tractor trailers, which will only enter and exit through the Washington Street entrance in the back, according to site plans. ' provides an important household delivery service and convenience, particularly under the prevailing COVID circumstances,' Marinelli said.Īccording to Marinelli and Stop & Shop, the facility will operate 24-hours a day to accommodate increased demand of food delivery services due to the pandemic.
