The two strongest pulls in Price Chopper's top 10 sit on opposite sides of the grocery aisle: Stewart's Shops, a convenience store chain, leads at 0.92, while NBT Bank, a regional bank, follows at 0.91 — a two-peak structure that bridges everyday convenience and community financial services.
The shape is "two-peak," meaning these two neighbors stand meaningfully apart from the rest of the set. Below them, the top 10 fills in with a recognizable cluster of regionally rooted, everyday-errand brands. Weis Markets (0.90) and Hannaford Supermarkets (0.86) are the only other General Grocery Stores in the top 10, confirming that same-kind overlap exists but doesn't dominate. The remaining six positions go to pharmacies — Weis Pharmacy (0.88) and Hannaford Pharmacy (0.86) — health and medical services — Beltone (0.84) and Health & Medical Services (0.82) — an alcoholic beverage retailer in Fine Wine and Good Spirits (0.84), and a second bank in Community Bank (0.83). The subcategory mix — convenience, banking, pharmacy, health services — points to an audience organized around routine, place-based errands rather than any single retail category.
The two-peak structure reveals an audience that moves fluidly between a convenience-store cadence and a community-bank relationship, with grocery as the connective tissue between them.
