Bi-Wise Market of Allenstown, N.H., said it has agreed to be acquired by Associated Grocers of New England. Terms were not disclosed.
"Bi-Wise has been a member store customer of AG New England for over 35 years, and it is a logical transition to pass the reins of the business to a company that is fully dedicated to the success of the independent retail grocers who are the owners of the cooperative,” said Bi-Wise owner Marc Genest. “This is the best thing that could have happened to the grocery store, its employees and the community.”
