Weis Markets celebrates anniversary with 100-day price freeze

SUNBURY, Pa. — Weis Markets has lowered the prices on more than 1,000 staple items and will freeze the prices of these products for 100 days in recognition of its 100-year anniversary.

It also marks the company's ninth Price Freeze program since 2009.

"We have extended our 90-day price freeze by ten days in recognition of our company's 100 year anniversary. Since 2009, our Price Freeze program has generated nearly $40 million in savings for our customers," Weis Markets EVP sales and merchandising Kurt Schertle said. "We have locked in long-term savings for customers through long-term deals and strategic buying that will help minimize the impact of commodity inflation in the months ahead."

Weis Markets' current Price Freeze program includes more than 1,000 brand-name and private-label products in grocery, frozen, dairy, meat, health, beauty care and general merchandise.

The current Price Freeze premiered in Weis Markets' July 15 circular, radio and billboard advertisements. It will run through Oct. 20. In stores, customers will see Price Freeze signage and shelf tags for participating items.
