The Golub family has sold the Price Chopper and Market32 brands to two different outside companies.   Details will be announced in the next few days.

Enjoy your retirement Mr Golub, it's obviously going to be very lucrative!


We are advised NOT to judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.   Funny how that works.

Probably one of the companies will be Tops Markets from Western NY.  Tops is a Italian family orientated company and is unionized so there goes the wages for folks.  If Tops is it then the folks working there will lose most of their wages to the high Union dues.

Union VS Non Union
According to March 2001 Employer Costs for Employee Compensation (ECEC) data, wages
and salaries for private industry union workers averaged $18.36 per hour while those for
nonunion private industry workers averaged $14.81 per hour. Union workers’ wages were
also higher in March 2011, averaging $23.02 per hour for union workers compared with
$19.51 per hour for nonunion workers. Historically, union wage levels have been consistently
higher in all reference periods between 2001 and 2011.

Wrong again...Danny Wegman has eliminated over 50% of brand names in favor
of Wegman brand, and cost is no benefit, and quality is no benefit. PUBLIX would be a positive option.

Meaningless BS...who did they ask. I know plenty of people that are customers of Wegmans that rec'd no survey.
Who do they ask and how unbiased are these!

Go to Wegmans...look at their shelves of offerings...compare their prices with name brands...buy
some of their brands and compare to name brands...
While you are at it, review their weekly flyers for sale items.....oh wait, they don't do that and haven't
for years.
How is 10,000 across the country a realistic representation?
Quoted Text
Survey Demographics

The survey was conducted online in February 2016 across the United States. The pool of 10,025 respondents represented a cross-section of the four U.S. census regions, and reflected a broad spectrum of income levels, with 54% reporting household incomes of more than $50,000 a year. Respondents’ ages ranged from 18 to over 65. Approximately 67% were women and 33% were men.

Wegmans has been named the No. 1 supermarket again by the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI).

The latest ACSI report reveals the Rochester-based chain is the highest-rated
overall retailer in America, with a score of 86 -- up one notch from last year.
Only two other retailers improved their scores from the 2014 report, according to NBC News.

Wegmans, which has more than 85 locations across the Northeast, is also frequently named one of America's best
companies to work for by Fortune magazine and America's best overall supermarket by Consumer Reports.
The popular grocery store was also named No. 1 for reputation by the Harris Poll last year, above Apple, Google
and other big companies

Obviously you have not experienced Wegmans beyond an occasional visit. These ratings are bogus BS.
Talk with residents around the Wegmans stores and ask real questions about their products and prices.
That didn't happen and won't. I can give you names of over dozen people who have stopped going to
Wegmans and now go to PC instead. Defend them all you want, but it's a BS poll, PERIOD!

I will give them this....they hire students are provide tuition assistance...very admirable.

Polls are far from accurate and can be easily manipulated by the questions asked.
Wegmans came in ahead of Publix....really!
Publix is 10x better than any Wegmans or PC.  Heck, I like Hannaford's better than Wegmans.
Trader Joes came in next...really! They are not even the same
kind of service provider...they are a version of Aldi's, whole different category.

the new CEO of price chopper is from Safeway....Albertson and Safeway merged....controlled by Cerberus Capital investment firm.
