Price Chopper is a group of four separate family-owned chains of grocery stores formed in 1979 in the Kansas City and 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.

The Petrini's market chain was established in San Francisco and run as a family owned business until 1989, when it was sold to a large corporation, Provigo.
 The markets were widely known for having the finest meat in the San Francisco area, and the marketing strategies employed at the stores are still an inspiration for grocers nationwide.
 At the beginning of the 20th century grocery stores were sometimes much like department stores with different partners owning and operating their own departments.
 The founder started out operating the meat section of Lick Market on 7th and Clement in 1935 under such a scheme.
 He opened three other markets within a few years of that time.
 The largest Petrini's grocery store was opened in 1956 on what is still known today as Petrini Plaza, near Fulton and Masonic in San Francisco.
 At the time of opening of that store, there were already four other large grocery stores in San Francisco.
 That original store was torn down and replaced by an apartment complex by the same name.

 The company was sold to its main competitor, Boise, Idaho based Albertsons, in January 1998 and the Buttrey name was retired.
 At that time, Buttrey was operating 44 stores in Montana, Wyoming, and North Dakota with a revenue of US$391.4 million.
 As of today, most former Buttrey stores continue to operate under the Albertsons banner.
