Peru – The official Grand Opening Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony took place today at Peru’s Grand Union. “The Grand Union stores are back and better than ever. We have taken an iconic brand that everyone loved and leveraged our best-in-class retail strategies to take this legendary brand to the next level,” stated Bob Palmer, Chief Executive Officer of C&S Wholesale Grocers. GU Markets LLC, an affiliate of C&S Wholesale Grocers will operate the store.

Peru Store Manager Jeff Cross said shoppers will gradually find a greater selection of fresh and grocery items, including locally produced goods. There will also be a renewed effort to support the local community. Demonstrating that support, Cross presented a $1,000 donation to Peru JCEO Outreach Worker April Wright to benefit the Peru Food Shelf. Cross said, “The JCEO does great work in our community. We have a long history of working with you. I’m happy to present this check to you!” 

Last November C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc. entered into a definitive agreement to purchase twelve Tops Markets stores that have become available due to the Tops Markets merger with Price Chopper/Market 32. C&S is converting the twelve stores to Grand Union supermarkets.
