Schenectady, NY, 2015-8-18— /EPR Retail News/ — Price Chopper Supermarkets is pleased to announce the acquisition of Fairway Pharmacy in Montrose, PA, effective Monday, August 17.
The New York-based, family-managed chain will continue to operate out of Fairway’s current location until the planned construction of a new pharmacy inside the Montrose Price Chopper is completed. Fairway Pharmacy customers will have immediate access to the many great savings programs and services that Price Chopper has to offer, including free diabetes medications, free diabetic supplies, free antibiotics, free prenatal and children’s vitamins, $9.99 for 100 generic pills and Fuel AdvantEdge rewards.
Jerry Prusack, owner of Fairway Pharmacy, has joined the Price Chopper team as a pharmacist at the newly acquired location. The remainder of the Fairway Pharmacy staff has also joined the Price Chopper team.
“We are delighted to welcome Jerry and the Fairway team to the Price Chopper family,” said Kathy Bryant, Vice President of Pharmacy for Price Chopper. “We look forward to building upon the foundation of trusted and convenient pharmacy care that they have long provided to the Montrose community, while expanding and enhancing the patient services that are offered.”
“We look forward to continuing to provide the high level of care that our patients have come to expect from us, and believe that the addition of support from Price Chopper’s highly regarded pharmacy division will increase our ability to serve the community,” said Prusack. “The construction of a brand new pharmacy inside the Price Chopper Supermarket marks a significant investment in our community that will provide our customers with the added convenience of one-stop shopping.”
Customers will also see the added benefit of extended business hours. The newly acquired pharmacy will be open Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Price Chopper will also be offering customers a promotional offer of $25 off any new or transferred prescription which will be valid until November 7, 2015.
