In 1973, the Golub family eliminated the green stamps program, sliced prices and adopted the name Price Chopper to reflect their new pricing policy. Along the way, they became one of the first grocery chains in the nation to dispense S&H Green Stamps to their customers. A year later the brothers opened a new store in Schenectady and called it Central Market due to its proximity to the town's Central Park.įor the next 40 years, the brothers expanded the Central Market chain. Price Chopper began in 1932, when brothers Ben and Bill Golub opened a neighborhood grocery store in Green Island, N.Y., called the Public Service Market in an old, windowless warehouse. It has since been replaced by a Compare Foods International market, which opened in March. In addition, Shop Fresh, an independent market located in the Colonial Plaza at 115 Thomaston Ave., opened in January 2005 and closed in less than a year. C-Town, a grocery store at the corner of Cook and Grove streets, was destroyed in a fire in March 2007, while the Shaw's Supermarket on Union Street in the Brass Mill Commons shut its doors last Sept. Price Chopper is the third food store to close in Waterbury in the past 14 months and the fourth to close in the city within the past three years. Price Chopper first entered the state in 1998, when it opened a store at 990 Torringford St. ![]() The Wolcott Street store was the company's second location in Connecticut. The company has no plans to close any of its other locations, she said. The other Connecticut stores are in Bristol, Newington, Putnam, Southington, Torrington, Vernon and Windsor. Price Chopper has 115 stores in six states, including seven other Connecticut locations, Golub said. All of the workers will be offered positions at other Price Chopper locations, she said. Golub said the company will begin conducting one-on-one exit interviews with all 128 employees at the Waterbury store beginning today. ![]() "Ultimately, like any successful company, we tend not to use our resources where they're not working for us." "That particular store never really got off the ground," Golub said, noting that sales at the Waterbury location have been disappointing since the store first opened. Price Chopper is also less than a mile from a Shop Rite supermarket at 650 Wolcott St. The store is located across the street from the Naugatuck Valley Shopping Center, where a Super Stop & Shop opened in 2001 and a Wal-Mart outlet opened in September 2002. "That location has not proven to be a successful one for us," she said. The 70,000-square-foot market at 934 Wolcott St., which opened in May 2003, will open for business on the morning of June 9 and then close for good at 6 p.m., said Mona Golub, a spokeswoman for Golub Corp., the chain's parent. ![]()
