Pittsfield Price Rite Closing Next Month
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Price Rite Marketplace plans to close its Pittsfield location on Dalton Avenue by Sept. 30.
In a statement Thursday, Daniel Emmer with the supermarket's corporate communications confirmed rumors that the company will be closing the Pittsfield store.
"After 14 years, Price Rite Marketplace of Pittsfield has made the very difficult decision to close the store by September 30, 2020," he wrote. "Price Rite appreciates the loyalty of its customers who have supported the store through the years and its dedicated team members who have worked hard to serve our community."
He added that the company is sharing information regarding potential job opportunities or available positions at other Price Rite Marketplace stores in the region with employees.
Emmer did not indicate the reason for the closure.
Price Rite, a New Jersey-based market chain, is owned by Wakefern Food Corp.
The chain has stores in Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island.
In January, the Pittsfield store held a grand reopening after a substantial remodel. All Massachusetts stores underwent this rebranding.
