Tops to sell six stores to Price Chopper

Albany, N.Y. A report by the Watertown Daily Times said that Tops Markets has agreed to sell six former P&C Food stores to Schenectady, N.Y.-based Price Chopper for $14 million.

The six stores will remain open under Tops, based in Buffalo, N.Y., until Price Chopper's ownership takes effect, most likely in early April. A closing date for the sale has not yet been scheduled.

Price Chopper said it plans to temporarily close the newly acquired P&C stores while they're being converted and remodeled.
