Price Chopper/Market 32 and Tops Markets announced on Monday that the companies have entered into a definitive merger agreement that creates an alliance between the grocery chains, nearly doubling their collective footprint in the Northeast.
This transaction unites the two independent New York-based grocery chains, which have deep ties to their local communities and shared commitments to service, savings, and convenience, a press release from Price Chopper/Market 32 and Tops Markets said. It’s unclear what impact the merger would have on individual stores and employees.
