The Limited Lifespan of Price Chopper Limited

In Saratoga Springs, the limited-parking, limited-variety Price Chopper located below the Market Center Apartments has reached the end of its lifespan, and effectively closes on April 16, 2022, just under two weeks shy of ten years. The limited selection, parking, and proximity to two larger Market 32 stores with expanded product offerings, which attracted what little traffic this store had, were cited as reasons for closing this location, according to a press release from the Golub Corporation.

Here are some pictures I took of the store last year, in August 2021.

This store and the Market Center Apartments complex was built to replace an older, pitched-roof Central Market-era store on site.

Unique tight-nesting Unarco M59TN shopping carts, though this one is slightly newer, from 2014. The rest of the fleet consists of Unarco M90ZXs, Technibilt 5640s, and for some odd reason, Market32-branded Versacart V-172L carts. It is not clear where these will end up, while the M90ZXs and 5640s will just end up being refurbished, and the Market32 Versacarts may be sent to another location.
