The companies operating Price Chopper and Tops announced their proposed merger in February 2021. The agreement not only ensures that residents of multiple cities across upstate New York will continue to have choices when grocery shopping at Price Chopper and Tops - protecting their wallets from unrelenting price hikes - but it also preserves existing union contracts - protecting workers’ rights and their benefits.” “As many New Yorkers continue to suffer the financial impact of the COVID-19 public health crisis, the last thing that should be happening is for supermarkets to let an anticompetitive merger cut choices and raise prices. “It’s simple: More choices and competition at the supermarket mean better prices and more savings for consumers,” James said.
This agreement resolves an eight-month investigation that the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) conducted alongside the Federal Trade Commission. In an agreement with the companies that run the Schenectady-based Price Chopper supermarket chain and the Williamsville-based Tops Friendly Market supermarket chain, Attorney General James secured the divestment of 11 stores located in New York in connection with the companies’ proposed merger. New York Attorney General Letitia James recently announced an agreement she believes will help New York residents of several cities maintain choices and competitive prices when shopping at supermarkets. A study found a shocking amount of "unacceptable" roads in New York are costing residents a ton of money each year.
