Price Chopper Supermarkets and Sunoco Launch "Fuel AdvantEdge" in Southern VT and New Hampshire

SCHENECTADY, NY (09/04/2008)(readMedia)-- Price Chopper announces the launch of ‘Fuel AdvantEdge', an exclusive new program never before offered in the Southern VT and New Hampshire marketplace, in partnership with 13 local Sunoco stations that discount gasoline as a reward for grocery store purchases.

In an effort to build additional value into the Price Chopper AdvantEdge card, which has long offered consumers savings on groceries and general merchandise, the progressive supermarket chain will kick-off ‘Fuel AdvantEdge' in its Southern VT and New Hampshire locations on Thursday. ‘Fuel AdvantEdge' is an ongoing, cumulative savings/reward program that gives consumers a 10¢/gallon discount on gasoline purchases for every $50 of groceries purchased (20¢/gallon on $100 purchased, 30¢/gallon on $150 purchased, etc.).

Unlike other reward programs, consumers can accumulate their points/dollars spent across a 90-day timeframe and cash in on their gasoline discount for up to 20 gallons at their convenience, turning saved dimes into dollars. "What better way to reward our customers for choosing Price Chopper than by offering them great prices at the supermarket that translate to significant savings at the gas pump," said Neil Golub, President and CEO of Price Chopper.

"Sunoco is pleased to offer significant gasoline discounts through our partnership with Price Chopper. In Watertown and the Central and Lower Hudson Valley regions of NY, Keene, NH, Worcester, MA, Scranton/Wilkes Barre, PA, Utica/Rome NY and the Hartford, CT area, where the program has been launched across the last two years, we have customers saving fifty, sixty cents - even a dollar or more per gallon through the ‘Fuel AdvantEdge' program. It is exciting that this kind of savings opportunity is available to our customers," said Jeff Hassman, Channel Marketing Manager, Sunoco.
