Donna Abbott-Vlahos writes in the Albany Business Review the owner of Price Chopper supermarkets is denying a story that the Schenectady-based food retailer is considering a sale. Asked about the story, which cited unnamed sources and appeared in a industry trade publication last week, company spokesperson Mona Golub said, "That would be rumor and innuendo, to which I will not respond." The Golub Corp. owns 135 stores in six Northeast states, including nearly a dozen in Greene and Columbia counties, and western Massachusetts. Price Chopper ranks as the 42nd-largest food retailer in North America.
