CLAY, N.Y. — The Price Chopper supermarket at 3863 State Route 31 in Clay will permanently close on April 19.
All 103 store employees (24 full time, 79 part time) have been offered positions at other stores in the Central New York area, the company said in its Thursday announcement.
“After thoroughly reviewing the store’s current and future viability, we concluded that closure is the appropriate action to take,” Blaine Bringhurst, president of Price Chopper/Market 32, said in a statement. “We have a long history in the community and are grateful to all of our teammates and customers who have supported us over the years.”
Bringhurst went on to say, “It’s never easy to close a store — and we rarely do — but we have an obligation to make business decisions that support the company’s continued health and growth.”
Founded by the Golub family in 1932 and based in Schenectady, Price Chopper/Market 32 operates 130 Price Chopper and Market 32 supermarkets and one Market Bistro. The company says it has 11,000 employees in New York, Vermont, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire.
