The Price Chopper/Market 32 store located at 358 North Main Street in Gloversville, NY, will close for the final time at the end of the day on Saturday, January 10th, 2026, according to WRGB.

Why is Price Chopper Closing?

The statement didn't cite specific reasons as to why the store was closing, but Bringhurst did explain that this isn't something the grocery store normally does.
