For my first review of 2020 I am providing a first review for this business. Stop and Save is pretty much your average ordinary neighborhood corner store. It's located on the west end of Liberty Plaza at the corner of Liberty Street and Old Atlantic Avenue in the SoNo section of Chesapeake. The parking lot is not very large but the shopping center is on the small side so the lot is more than adequate for the tenants and their customers. The parking lot is in good repair and generally free of debris. The store is pretty small and crowded so it's a little tight navigating through the aisles. Stop and Save stocks most of the products you expect to find at your local corner store. Bread, milk, snacks, a good variety of other grocery staples, tobacco, lottery, beer and wine, sodas, etc... You can also find some healthcare products and other miscellaneous items. They also sell hot and cold sandwiches and subs, Philly cheesesteaks, hot dogs, sausages, bbq, etc... I've tried the Philly cheesesteak sub and it was pretty decent. Fresh and hot and tasty with decent portions. It didn't rank with the best cheesesteaks I've experienced but it was still enjoyable, not bad at all. The employees I've encountered are always friendly and professional, service is consistently on point. There's often music playing in the store and it can be pretty loud at times. The only real negative I've run into is that after dark there always seems to be one or two men loitering outside the storefront, sometimes even small groups. It's just kind of annoying, especially when they're smoking cigarettes. All in all, not a huge deal but definitely has an effect on some people as my wife refuses to even get out of the car if there are people hanging out front. There is a sign on the front window asking people not to loiter or smoke in front of or around the store but it obviously has no effect. I appreciate having Stop and Save at Liberty Plaza, they provide a convenient quick stop for locals to pick up basic items or a bite to eat.
