“We generated strong results in the second quarter despite ongoing inflationary pressures throughout our business operations due to the hard work and commitment of our associates,” said Weis Markets’ Chairman, President and CEO Jonathan H. Weis. “We are also mindful of inflation’s impact on our customers and continue to promote the value of our private brands along with the fuel and retail product savings available through our Weis Rewards program. In May, we made a multi-million-dollar investment to expand our Low, Low Price program by lowering prices on hundreds of our best-selling brand-name and Weis Quality frozen products.”
