^This. Stop & Shop did this for years (90's - 00's) in eastern & central Mass towns to secure their empire. Smaller supermarket chains would close and they would buy out the leases and/or purchase the buildings.

S&S did this in Eastham, Ma when MB was looking for an area to open a store on the outer Cape. The bought up a perfect tract of land that is still sitting dormant right on Rt 6.

They did it in Bourne too, right next to the rotary. Pretty much forced the best airsoft/paintball field in New England out when they bought it
