MADISON - Last May 5, the door of the newly established Price Chopper supermarket was finally opened to the consuming community of Madison. Its primary location is in Madison Marketplace, a newly launched shopping center within Hamilton Municipal Airport and Colgate University. The opening featured a flag-raising ceremony American Legion Post 1556 and a musical performance by Madison Central School band.
Price Chopper has a primary market in Oneida. It extends to New York, Vermont, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and finally, in Madison. The recently launched store will introduce the consuming market with grocery items, bakery, seafood products, florist, and ready-to-eat delicacies like pizza and chicken in its 37, 000 square feet of space. The objective of the store is to operate 24 hours during the first few days. Afterwards, schedules may now vary.
According to Barbara Page, spokesperson of Price Chopper, the store is expected to offer 150 job opportunities to people in Madison. On top of that, the store is currently applying for LEED certification from the US Green Building Council in order to help and promote environmental-friendly products.
Prior to its opening, Price Chopper conducted a fundraising activity that aimed to benefit the three local organizations namely, the Madison FFA, Community Memorial Hospital and the Madison Wrestling Club. The fundraising event presented live music and samples on what the supermarket has to offer. As a result, the event was able to raise $3,427 worth of money which was divided equally among the three organizations.
Price Chopper’s Store Manager, Matt Frey said that both highlights were well-attended by the consuming community of Madison. He also added that he's expecting more consumers in the coming days.
