I heard yesterday about Top's market being in Chapter 11 bankruptcy
proceedings for the past two years - and that the P&C markets are
facing the same thing and may be closed by February '10.
I'd like to say that we'll create new markets, but just found this when
looking up Penn Traffic, P&C's parent:
"P&C Foods began in 1944 as the Producers and Consumers food cooperative
in Ithaca, New York as a way for farmers in upstate New York to get
their products to market efficiently. Today, Penn Traffic operates 70
P&C supermarkets serving the Syracuse metropolitan area as well as many
other communities in upstate New York." -

Maybe history will circle around again.
