"Market 32 and Price Chopper stores are inviting customers to double the value of their spare change by bringing in their pennies this Sunday, November 16 for "Double Exchange Day." The only catch is that customers will receive a gift card instead of cold hard cash for their trouble, according to a statement on the company's website."
""Cash transactions remain an important part of how we serve our customers, and for those who prefer to pay with cash, we want to make sure we can continue providing the same great checkout experience-right down to the penny," Blaine Bringhurst, president of Market 32 and Price Chopper said in a statement. "We also know a lot of families across our six-state footprint are facing hardships right now, and this is another unique way our team is working to provide support.""
"Customers can bring in their pennies either the old-fashioned way-rolled up in a sleeve (remember that, Gen Xers?)-or as loose coins to the customer service desk at the supermarkets. They can bring in up to a total of $100, which gets you a $200 gift card, or a minimum of 50 cents for a $1 gift card. However, the offer is good for one day only."
Market 32 and Price Chopper will accept pennies at a 2-for-1 exchange rate on November 16, issuing gift cards rather than cash. Customers may bring rolled or loose pennies to the customer service desk, with a maximum exchange of $100 in pennies for a $200 gift card and a minimum exchange of 50 cents for a $1 gift card. The offer applies for one day across dual-branded stores in six Northeastern states. The promotion follows the U.S. Mint stopping penny production and addresses short-term demand for pennies in cash transactions while providing assistance to families.
