The Ohio Grocers Association on Thursday will present its 2014 Pinnacle Award for multi-store operators to Bill Price, owner of M & R Foods Inc. and co-owner of Price Brothers Retail. Presently, Price owns a Save-A-Lot in Fairborn, and owns McMaken’s IGA in Brookville. Additionally, he and his brother Paul Price jointly own Franklin Save-A-Lot and two Save-A-Lots in Middletown, and the brothers recently purchased a Sav- A-Lot store in Lebanon, according to an Ohio Grocers Association news release.

The presentation of the award will take place at noon Thursday, March 6, at McMaken’s IGA, 1 McMaken Lane in Brookville. The ceremony is open to the public.

The grocers association gives out two Pinnacle awards each year, one to a multi-store operator and one to a single-store operator. The single-store honoree for 2014 was Fligner’s Market in Lorain.
