South Burlington edit
Oh yeah! In case none of you knew, the largest Shaw's is in South Burlington, Vermont.
It says that the location is in Idaho because that is the location of Albertson's (Shaw's parnet company) main offices

Terrible Care for Employees. edit
Shaws has always taken decent care of their full-time employees. But to be perfectly honest, they treat their part-timers like crap. The part-time workers at shaws seriously do most of the work and get paid minimum wage. It was the worst job of my life, and not even worth the small paychecks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.19.142.70 (talk) 03:21, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

High Prices edit
Nowhere in this article is there a mention of why Shaw's had so many store closings. Apparently, it had (and still might have) the among highest prices of any supermarket chain the Boston area. Bostoner (talk) 22:22, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- I shop at Star, Stop & Shop, and Hannaford. There are some items with higher prices at Shaw's and Star, but I don't find it to be across the board. There are also items that are always way cheaper, like eggs. If there is a source that compares the chains that could be helpful, but that would be the opinion of the author and depend on what items they were comparing.
