The Weis chief said the retailer, which yesterday announced its latest round of price cuts, is seeing “cautious” spending by consumers.


“Our core markets are clearly affected by higher unemployment rates and a record low consumer confidence index, which has resulted in cautious overall spending by our customers,” Hepfinger said.
