'''Price Chopper''' is a group of four separate family-owned chains of [[grocery store]]s formed in 1979 in the [[Kansas City Metropolitan Area|Kansas City]] and [[Des Moines metropolitan area|Des Moines]] metropolitan areas that share a common brand name and unified marketing campaigns. The owners are the Ball, Cosentino, McKeever, and Queen families in Kansas City and DGS Foods in Des Moines. All ownership groups are members of [[Associated Wholesale Grocers]] (AWG), which allows Price Chopper to have the buying power of large chains and to share marketing costs. The five ownership groups own and operate 55 stores across [[Kansas]], [[Missouri]], and [[Iowa]]. Slogans for the chain include "Just Right" and "Fresher Ways to Save". Price Chopper is the number one grocery store chain in the Kansas City metropolitan area in terms of both sales and number of stores. Its biggest competitor in both Kansas City and Des Moines is [[Hy-Vee]].<ref>http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/business/2015/03/24/look-inside-price-chopper/70409048/</ref> |
