MONTROSE, Pa. — Schenectady, N.Y.-based Price Chopper Supermarkets has acquired Fairway Pharmacy here.

Jerry Prusack, owner of Fairway Pharmacy, has joined the Price Chopper team as a pharmacist at the newly acquired location, which will continue to operate until the planned construction of a new pharmacy inside the Montrose Price Chopper is completed. The rest of the Fairway Pharmacy staff has also joined Price Chopper.

“We are delighted to welcome Jerry and the Fairway team to the Price Chopper family,” said Kathy Bryant, the grocer’s vice president of pharmacy. “We look forward to building on the foundation of trusted and convenient pharmacy care that they have long provided to the Montrose community, while expanding and enhancing the patient services offered.”

Bryant said that Fairway Pharmacy customers now have access to Price Chopper’s savings programs and services, including free diabetes medications, free diabetic supplies, free antibiotics, free prenatal and children’s vitamins, a price of $9.99 for 100 generic pills and Fuel AdvantEdge rewards.

“We look forward to continuing to provide the high level of care that our patients have come to expect from us and believe that the addition of support from Price Chopper’s highly regarded pharmacy division will increase our ability to serve the community,” Prusack said. “The construction of a brand-new pharmacy inside the Price Chopper Supermarket marks a significant investment in our community that will provide our customers with the added convenience of one-stop ­shopping.”

Price Chopper has also extended the hours at the newly acquired pharmacy, which is now open from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays and from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays, and through November 7 is offering new customers $25 off on any new or transferred prescription.

Fairway Pharmacy is located four storefronts down from the Montrose Price Chopper ­supermarket.
