The new PriceRite location held its grand opening yesterday. The store is the chain’s 10th in New York and it will employ 130 people in full- and part-time positions.
PriceRite has additional Upstate stores in Schenectady, Queensbury, Rochester, Vestal, and Buffalo. The chain is a subsidiary of Wakefern Food Corp. of Elizabeth, N.J. and it has more than 40 stores in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Rhode Island.
