[naviga:h2]Discount grocery store moving into Point Plaza[/naviga:h2]

A new discount grocery store is coming to Butler.

Sharp Shopper Grocery Outlet has announced plans to move into Point Plaza in Butler between routes 356 and 68.

This will be the company’s ninth location. It has yet to announce when the store will open.

According to Sharp Shopper’s website, the store’s offer low-priced “closeouts” which are available due to overproduction, packaging changes, seasonal items, warehouse damage or short date codes.

Sharp Shopper has eight other retail outlet stores in Pennsylvania and Virginia.

PURCHASE, N.Y. — Higher prices helped lift PepsiCo’s sales in the first quarter, as the maker of Doritos, Gatorade and Quaker worked on transforming its lineup of products to keep up with changing tastes.

Sales for the North America Beverages and Frito-Lay North America segment both climbed 2 percent in the quarter, as pricing offset a decline in volume. Like other major food and beverage companies including Coca-Cola and Oreo cookie maker Mondelez, PepsiCo has said it is working on adapting its stable of brands to better reflect the trend toward options that people feel are healthier.
