The more than 53,000-square-foot store becomes the 52nd Market 32-branded location across the regional grocer’s six-state footprint. Designed to meet evolving customer preferences, the location now features open sightlines, soft earth-tone décor, enhanced lighting and product-forward displays, all part of a $3.4 million investment in improvements.
“We’re proud to introduce the Market 32 brand to Morrisville and deliver an enhanced experience that reflects how our customers shop today,” said Blaine Bringhurst, president of Market 32 and Price Chopper.

Following months-long renovations, the location closed briefly on the evening of Thursday, Jan. 15, to complete final renovations, and reopened at 6 a.m., Friday, January 16. To commemorate the occasion, company leaders were joined by local elected officials and dignitaries for a ceremonial ribbon cutting, the Peoples Academy choir performed the National Anthem and customers enjoyed free product samplings.
Led by Store Manager Mike Dennis, the new Market 32 includes expanded floral, produce, specialty cheese and wine offerings. In addition, a new seating area features ADA-accessible tables with built-in charging ports.
“This store directly incorporates the feedback and ideas we hear from our customers,” Bringhurst added. “We’re incredibly proud of the result and grateful to our teammates, whose passion and dedication continue to make a real difference for the communities we serve.”
