Beside this, is Price Chopper going out of business?
On June 17, 2015, Price Chopper announced that it would be phasing out the sale of tobacco products in all 135 of its Price Chopper and Market 32 stores, joining competitors Shoprite, Wegmans, and CVS/pharmacy.
The new name is a reference to the year the Golub family started its grocery business: 1932. Eventually, all 135 Price Chopper stores will convert to the Market 32 brand. The whole process will take eight or nine years. Price Chopper has stores in six states.
