Lee James Stuart is banned from every branch of Co-op, McColls, Tesco and Asda in St Helens, as well as a string of smaller independent stores.
The 31-year-old was hit with a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) which runs until September 2022, after a catalogue of bizarre behaviour.
This five-year ban was first imposed in September 2017 after staff complained of being intimidated and terrorised by him.
Stuart found himself back in the spotlight this week when Merseyside Police was forced to issue a reminder on its Facebook page to state the CBO was still in place.
The force also included a list of all the business premises Stuart is forbidden from entering.
Back in 2017, staff working in premises across St Helens described how Stuart used to try and sneak into their stores wearing various disguises, even after he was told not to come back.
Richard Burt was a shop assistant at Martins in Parr in 2017, and he told the ECHO : “He has been banned from here for shoplifting mainly.
“He used to come in and take whatever he wanted like coffee or ham.
“We caught him a couple of times and told him to stop but let him away with it.
“It was only when we told him he was banned from the store he used to come in wearing disguises and used to try and sneak around.”
Richard also said Stuart used to “react badly and use threats or abuse” if his behaviour was challenged by people.
Carley Quilter runs the Cabelo Hair Studio in Haydock and when Stuart's CBO was issued in 2017, she said she could have lost her entire business because of Stuart’s actions.

She told the ECHO: ““He actually threatened to attack my business partner and the person I pay the lease to.
“My business partner said if it carried on then he would leave and if that happened we would have lost the salon.”
Carley added that Stuart has been “pinching stuff from shops” close to her premises too.
If Stuart breaks any of the rules of the CBO, which include not leaving a premises as soon as he is asked, or causes anyone “distress or alarm” in the next five years he will commit a criminal offence and could be sent to jail.
The 2017 CBO, which is still in force today, isn’t the first time Stuart has been the subject of an banning order.
In 2008, the then 19-year-old, was banned from entering every front and back garden in St Helens after being convicted of taking money from homeowners, promising to clean their windows but never doing the job.
Conditions of the current CBO mean Stuart must not enter any "self service shop unless he seeks the permission of the owner/manager/staff member/other authorised person acting on behalf of that store" before entering.
CBOs are designed to target persistent offenders. Merseyside Police urged anyone who has any dealings with Stuart that would constitute a breach of his criminal behaviour order, to report it to them.
