Price Chopper/Market 32 made history on Friday, June 14, by opening four new Market 32s in New York’s Capital Region. As part of our commitment to nourishing life in the communities in which we operate, Price Chopper/Market 32 donated 5% of sales from each grand opening to local organizations making an impact in our neighborhoods. These new stores, located in Albany, Colonie, Niskayuna, and North Greenbush, NY, raised over $50,000 for the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern NY, Westland Hills Baseball and Softball, Niskayuna Baseball League, Colonie Little League, and Southern Rensselaer County Baseball Association at East Greenbush Inc.
We presented checks to all 5 organizations at our new Colonie store on Monday, July 15. Check out some pictures below!
We are beyond grateful to teammates across the company for working tirelessly to transform all four stores in a short period, and for supporting programs that help build strong communities. We are so proud to be able to show our customers that we’re not just in your neighborhood, we’re your neighbor!

Massena, NY
In 2022 the Norfolk Concert Series in Norwood, NY presented its first season of 10 performances with the overwhelming support of the local community. The small structure where the concerts are held is unprotected from the elements and less than suitable for musicians, with a cracked foundation and no storage area. Our Massena store teammates recently presented the first of 2 checks for $5,000 to Norwood Concert Series president Christine Paige, in support of the Build-a-Bandshell Fund Drive.
