ChopMore! by Price Chopper (https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=%2Fg%2F1v62j57r) is a new value-focused, no-frills grocery concept that officially launched in Kansas City on October 27, 2026. Developed by Cosentino’s Food Stores, a family-owned local grocery giant operating in the metro area for more than 75 years, the banner is designed to go head-to-head with large national big-box retailers and discount chains like Aldi.
