Formerly a Stop & Shop it's been 5 or 6 years since I visited this mall, back then S&S was still open at this location. It was interesting when I shopped at the Nordstrom Rack, they still have the lighting over the area where the grocery store checkout counters were and you could see the open balcony area where the S&S offices and employee lounge were upstairs.

Off Broadway Shoe at the Liberty Tree Mall is now home in a section of the former Stop&Shop. When I was shopping at the Off Broadway Shoe you could see the skylights from the former S&S store.
