Two Capital Region Price Chopper stores will be converted this year to the supermarket company's Market 32 format, first introduced more than 4 years ago.

Stores at 1706 Western Ave. in Guilderland and 1640 Eastern Parkway in Schenectady will undergo the conversion to a new format, a spokesman for Price Chopper confirmed Sunday. The stores will remain open during the process. Work is already underway at the Eastern Parkway store, said spokesman Jonathan Pierce, adding the work in Guilderland "is being phased in later this year."
