SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - Some upstate New York supermarket employees have been notified that they may be out of a job in February.
Syracuse-based Penn Traffic, parent company of P and C markets, filed for a third Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 10 years this week. Some P and C employees told the Syracuse Post-Standard that they received a blunt letter telling them their stores will shut down Feb. 15 if they can't be sold.
Other employees were told by the company that at least two stores, including Chittenango, have a buyer. The buyer wasn't named.
Penn Traffic hopes to have a buyer for its 79 stores by Jan. 10.
