Associated Wholesale Grocers plans to convert five of seven Dahl’s Foods stores in Iowa to the Price Chopper banner in early April and two others, in the Des Moines market, to a new, unspecified format, according to published reports.
Kansas City, Kansas-based AWG acquired the stores in January following Dahl’s bankruptcy filing in November.
Price Chopper is an AWG-licensed name used by 51 members in Kansas.
Price Chopper is headquartered in Schenectady, NY.
didn’t know PC had stores outside NY. They are rebranding the name to something like Market 32 (started in 1932)
Price Chopper is awesome. I wish they had one around here.
Hy-Vee’s game has gotten a lot better in the last ten years. One of their Missouri stores I shop at on the Lake of the Ozarks is top flight.
I think that the Dahl’s branding after AWG got full control went more downhill and the HyVee stores ate their lunch.
I built a lot of grocery stores back in the 80s and 90s and found AWG more of a pain to deal with.
I remember W. T. Dahl and his very nice grocery stores when we lived there...
AWG is but a mere supplier around here...
Don’t know if anyone has an Aldi’s in their neighborhood but we have abandoned Wal-Mart and are saving probably a hundred dollars a month by shopping at Aldi’s. Their generic brands are for the most part first class.
Yes, I like Aldi’s better than Price Chopper. I haven’t been to NY in a while and forgot about them.
