Price Chopper has laid off 80 employees at its corporate headquarters, the chain announced.
The layoffs include management, field, clerical and administrative support workers, according to a statement from the company. When the new headquarters opened four years ago in Schenectady, company officials said more than 700 people would be employed there.
"Today is a very challenging day for all of us, as the current business climate has led us to eliminate approximately 80 positions in the company — some through attrition and some with incumbents," said Price Chopper CEO Jerry Golub in a statement. "The decisions were not made lightly, as we understand the impact that they have on families and communities. We are doing everything possible to ease this transition for our displaced teammates, by way of severance packages, extended benefits and outplacement services."
