McGowan says Stop & Shop has also closed its gas stations.
Thousands of workers walked off the job April 11 over what they say is an unfair contract offer. The company disputes that.
Also Tuesday, Stop & Shop confirmed there are additional police and security personnel at some stores as a precaution.
