Price Chopper is a chain of supermarkets headquartered in Schenectady, New York. The chain opened its first supermarkets in New York's Capital District in 1932, and changed its name from Central Market to Price Chopper in 1973.

== History ==
In 1927, William Golub and his brother, Bernard, took over the wholesale grocery that their father, Lewis Golub, had opened in 1908 after emigrating from Russia. In 1932, Joseph E. Grosberg, together with Russian Jewish immigrants Bernard and William Golub, partners in the Grosberg-Golub Corporation,〔The Grosberg-Golub company was originally created in 1930 by the merger of the separate Lewis Golub and Joseph E. Grosberg companies, and was first known as the GG Grocery Corporation. ("Golub Grosberg firm to be known as GG Grocery Co." ), ''Schenectady Gazette'', February 13, 1930.〕 opened their first supermarket (initially called Public Service Market) in Green Island, New York, followed by stores in Watervliet and Schenectady. They gave all three stores the name Central Market. The concept was a success and they continued to open many more stores in the region.〔("Price Chopper Continues to Market Itself" ), ''Albany Times-Union'', March 5, 2000 .〕 In 1943, the Golub brothers bought out Joseph Grosberg's share of the company and formed the present parent company, the Golub Corporation. In 1951, they were one of the first grocery chains in the country to issue the well-known S&H Green Trading Stamps.〔Alan Wechsler, ("A Family Affair; As Price Chopper turns 75, the Golub clan celebrates four generations of success." ) ''Albany Times-Union'', November 11, 2007 .〕
In the fall of 1973, Central Market changed its operating strategy. The chain dropped Green Stamps, slashed prices, and to reflect this new strategy changed the stores' name to Price Chopper (The name "Central Market" is now used as their upscale house brand, as well as for the floral departments). Since then Price Chopper has continued to grow, opening new stores and upgrading old ones.
