Sen. Casey asks Weis for price-freeze on more than 2,400 products

WASHINGTON Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., on Monday drafted a letter to David Hepfinger, president and CEO of Weis Markets, praising the grocer for implementing a 90-day price freeze on more than 2,400 products.

“This decision shows an admirable commitment to helping your customers in communities across Pennsylvania and beyond who are finding it harder every day to make ends meet and put nutritious meals on their families tables,” Casey wrote. “Without being asked, Weis Markets has chosen to respond to this need with vision and compassion. Your actions to hold down food prices will give families greater access to the food staples they need and help them make ends meet.”
